Yadav, Muslim numbers inflated in Bihar caste survey, says Shah
Hindustan Times
|November 06, 2023
Union home minister Amit Shah on Saturday termed the Bihar caste survey an "illusion" as he accused the chief minister Nitish Kumar-led state government of inflating the Muslim and Yadav population in the enumeration exercise for "appeasement politics".
Addressing a rally in the Muzaffarpur district of Bihar, Shah said that the decision to hold the caste survey in the state was taken when the Janata Dal (United) was a part of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) but it was conducted this year to fulfil the "ulterior motives" of the current state government.
"The decision to conduct the caste survey in Bihar was taken when the JD(U) was part of the NDA. But the way the survey was conducted reveals the ulterior design of the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) government. The population of Muslims and Yadavas were deliberately inflated during the exercise. The state government is indulging in politics of appeasement and is not interested in the welfare of people belonging to other backward communities," he said.
