Karpoori Thakur is considered a pioneer of the idea of reservation in government jobs for the backward sections. In 1978, he brought in 26 per cent reservation for backward classes in Bihar. He is remembered for implementing the recommendations of the Mungeri Lal Commission, which introduced these quotas. This eventually set off a chain of events that led to the Mandal Commission recommendations in the 1990s
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar praised the Modi government for honouring Karpoori Thakur and launched a scathing attack on the dynastic politics of Lalu Yadavs family without explicitly naming them.
Karpoori Thakur actively advocated for the rights of marginalised communities, including scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, and other backward classes. His commitment to social justice and inclusive development was a key aspect of his political ideology.
