Nitish Kumar has also linked the 2024 general elections with his reputation. For this, he is ready to try every policy, including fines and penalties. Recently, Nitish has released 27 people from jail by changing the jail rules just to maintain the caste balance, ignoring all the voices of protest, declaring all the parameters of morality as nought. One of them is the big Rajput leader of the state – Anand Mohan Singh. Those released include 8 Yadavs, 5 Muslims, 4 Rajputs, 3 Bhumihars, 2 Koeris, 1 Kurmi, 1 Gangota and 1 Nonia caste people. Nitish’s concern was about the fact that at present there is no big Rajput leader in JDU and RJD and state president Jagdanand Singh is the only faceless leader of RJD left. Anyway, the inclination of Rajput voters has become more towards BJP these days. Bhumihars are traditionally BJP voters. So, with the release of Anand Mohan, 7-8 percent Rajput voters of the state can be shifted. It is believed that the Rajput caste, one of the dominant castes of the state, plays a decisive role in 7-8 Lok Sabha and 30-35 assembly seats in the state, and thus Nitish’s whole exercise is to achieve this caste balance.
