00:00 The Nitish Kumar government in Bihar has released findings of its much-awaited caste survey,
00:06 which revealed that OBCs and EBCs constitute a whopping 63% of the state's total population.
00:13 With this, Bihar has become the first state to release data from the caste-based survey.
00:17 The report indicates that 36% of the population is from extremely backward classes, 27.1%
00:24 are from backward classes, 19.7% are from scheduled castes, and 1.7% are from scheduled
00:30 tribes.
00:31 The general population is 15.5%.
00:34 The state's total population is over 13.1 crore.
00:38 The survey also said that the Yadav community is the largest subgroup, accounting for 14.27%
00:43 of all OBC categories.
00:44 Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejasvi Yadav belongs to the Yadav community.
00:49 The report underlines the numerical superiority and electoral influence of OBCs in Bihar.
00:55 Minutes after the data was released, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar posted on X to hail
01:00 the release of data on Gandhi Jayanti.
01:02 He also reacted on the release
01:26 of the data.
01:52 The
02:16 Chief Minister's Jandadal United said that the Bihar government had created history.
02:20 Deputy CM Tejasvi Yadav called the report a watershed moment and the result of decades
02:25 of struggle.
02:54 The report said that the government was not only a failure, but also a failure in its own.
03:23 All the people of Bihar are a failure.
03:52 The former Chief Minister hailed the release of the caste-based data on Gandhi Jayanti.
04:20 He said that despite many conspiracies of the BJP and what he called legal hurdles and
04:25 conspiracies, the Bihar government released the caste-based survey.
04:29 However, the BJP's reaction has been predictably critical, with Giriraj Singh, a union minister
04:35 and Lok Sabha MP from Bihar slamming the caste-based survey report
05:04 that
05:25 Gandhi Jayanti was a failure.
05:26 Rahul Gandhi, whose party is a member of India Bloc, last week said that the Congress
05:29 would implement a similar exercise should they win the Madhya Pradesh election, likely
05:34 in November.
