Amit Shah calls caste-based survey report an eyewash, accuses Lalu and Nitish of Muslim appeasement

Union Home Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Amit Shah on his first visit to Bihar after the release of caste-based survey report came down heavily on State Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad, accusing the government of engaging in politics of Muslim appeasement.

“To confuse the people of Bihar, the alliance recently released the caste-based survey in which the populations of Yadav and Muslim have been increased and the population of EBC (Extremely Backward Classes) has been decreased. Don’t fall into their trap. This is an injustice with the EBC and backward people,” Mr. Shah said, while addressing a rally in Muzaffarpur district of Bihar.
