The bjp should not be given a chance at all... naveen patnaik is serious about capturing the votes of the OBCs! As the bjp should not be given a chance in odisha, naveen patnaik has been actively campaigning to garner OBC votes (among other backward castes). Let's take a closer look at Odisha's political scene, with a focus on caste politics.
Last year, naveen patnaik introduced a motion in the assembly to survey backward castes. The government should undertake a caste-based census, according to naveen Patnaik. The federal government proposed a measure in august that would empower states to decide which castes should be included on the list of other backward groups. When the Biju Janata Dal delegation met with then-Union minister Amit Shah, they sought a caste-based census. A reserve is also important to naveen Patnaik.
The courts have already halted the naveen patnaik government's efforts to extend 27 per cent reservation to other backward castes. The odisha assembly passed a resolution calling for the 50 per cent reservation ceiling to be removed. The odisha State Commission for backward classes was also established last year and as a result, Odisha's state government is likewise a caste state. odisha targets the votes in this poll!
