Despite Bihar caste survey, BJP a strong contender
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Bihar has been focusing on gaining support from the backward castes in the state. The party has been appointing leaders from the Other Backward Castes (OBC) and Most Backward Class (MBC) in key positions within the party's organizational structure. This strategy has allowed the BJP to broaden its support base beyond the upper castes. The party's efforts to promote OBC faces have been successful, as seen in the selection of two OBC Deputy Chief Ministers in November 2020.
