PATNA: The Supreme Court stay on OBC quota in admissions to educational institutions has triggered intense politicking in Bihar dominated as the state has been by politicians owing their positions to the Mandalisation of politics in the early 1990s.
Railway minister Lalu Prasad chose to speak cautiously and said he will speak to PM Manmohan Singh on the issue. Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, while apprehending caste tension in the state and the country, urged the PM to convene an all-party meet on the issue. "It's high time all leaders claiming to be champions of OBC politics came together and pressurised the Union government to initiate measures for reversing the apex court order,
" said LJP national vice president Ranjan Prasad Yadav. While attributing the rise of all the major political parties in Bihar to OBC politics, Ranjan said,
"Lalu, Nitish, Ram Vilas Paswan, Sharad Yadav, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Mayawati... all of them will have to stand united on the issue.
" In the 1990s, Mandalisation of politics hugely impacted politics in Bihar. It led to emergence of Lalu, Nitish and Ram Vilas as mass leaders and also saw the Congress fortunes dwindle. The LJP maintains that the role of Lalu is important.
"Lalu, who has enjoyed power in Bihar for 15 long years in the name of backward caste politics, is in a position to influence the Centre the most,"
said the LJP vice president. Political adversaries of the RJD are accusing Lalu and UPA of not taking a firm stand on the issue.
"There has been no opposition to this reservation from any political party. Yet, the UPA did not place the facts before the apex court properly as a result of which the court stayed the quota implementation,
" said Bihar deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi. Modi said this OBC quota was meant for Central technical institutions. "Bihar does not have a Central technical institute and there's already an OBC quota in admissions to state government institutes," he added.
