Bihar NDA Allies Differ on Reservation Policy Review and Sub-Quota Proposal
In Bihar, leaders within the ruling NDA alliance are divided over the reservation policy. Rashtriya Lok Morcha's Deepak Prakash, along with Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) leaders Jitan Ram Manjhi and Santosh Kumar Suman, advocate for sub-classification within quotas to better target benefits to the most marginalized groups. They emphasize education as key to social equality. However, figures like Chirag Paswan and opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav oppose changes, maintaining the current reservation framework. The BJP has taken a cautious stance amid these differing views.
