Mandal 2.0 And Bihar Government

Nitish Kumar happily and proudly exhibited his achievement by publishing the caste-based head count of his state a source says. Later data based on the economic status of the different castes in the state were also published source says. The Mahagathbandhan constituents were sure to use this as a master card in the coming parliamentary elections source says. In the meantime, the Bihar state administration issued appointment letters for the post of teachers in thousands source says. It was later realised that some candidates from other states were also appointed source says. The selection was not limited exclusively to the candidates from Bihar states source says. This has given a chance to the BJP to support the demand of agitated youth for appointments only for the people of the states source says. The BJP is likely to take this to counter Mandal 2 effects by making the issue regionalism versus caste in days to come source says. The Bihar government is to issue a further one lakh appointment letters soon but the process perhaps get delayed to some extent due to the agitation source says.
