Even those using FB & Twitter are very casteist!! I have observed many Bihari Yadavs on twitter celebrating & abusing UCs & SCs...Those who expect Bihar not to vote on caste and Biharis to suddenly magically become non-casteist, are living in suspended reality.
Biharis are casteist, very, and it also became a Bihari vs Bahari thing for them.
Both Modi ji and Amit Shah are Gujjus. And lets face it, short of Godhra, the Gujjus are not really seen as a very ballsy people. Not in Bihar definitely.
You might have as well sent Barrack Obama and George Bush to canvas there.
I agree BJP should have projected local leaders instead of Modi & Shah..
TBH according to inputs, the development & vikas talk during the campaign didn't help at all! BUT the beef & pakistan talk ironically helped to get a few more seats.
The fact that Phase 4 &5 (where the statments weremade)>Phases 1-3 proves it.(in terms of seats)
I am currently doing a post-poll analysis of why the RJD won,will post it soon & tag you there.
SC,ST reservation must remain for the reason you mentioned above.Not so simple. While a lot of OBC reservations are politically driven, reservations for the likes of the SC are difficult to argue against. It is not just about financial backwardness, you can't just erase 1000's of years of social oppression & deprivation overnight.
OBC reservation category seekers/beneficiaries are of 2 types:-
1)Those who deserve it i.e. the EBCs & MBCs.
2)Those who gave got it through nos. & Politics i.e. the BCs.
