Caste survey: Pappu’s prescription, ‘Bihar needs to have three Dy CMs’

Amid raging controversy over the recently released Bihar caste survey, Jan Adhikar Party-Loktantrik (JAP-Democratic) chief and five-time MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav on Wednesday demanded that “there must be three Deputy Chief Ministers” so that every community is adequately represented in the State.

“The caste survey which has been done in the State is right and now controversy and politics must be stopped over this. I demand from Chief Minister Nitish Kumar that there must be at least three deputy CMs from Extremely Backward Class, Minority community and upper caste so that every community in society has their representation in the State which would take their words at higher level and fight for their right,” JAP-Democratic chief Mr. Yadav said while addressing the media in Patna.

A heavyweight caste leader form the Yadav community, Mr. Yadav has also been a member of Lok Sabha for five terms from different constituencies in Bihar. He was also an Independent MLA in 1990 from Singheshwar assembly constituency of Madhepura district.
