Rashtriya Lok Janata Dal leader Upendra Kushwaha, an ally of the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), has demanded the release of the findings of the Bihar socio-economic survey — which was conducted alongside the caste survey whose results have caused a furore since it was made public — arguing that this would provide a “full picture” to policy framers to address inequality.
It would especially reveal whether certain dominant communities within the other backward classes (OBCs) and extremely backward classes (EBCs) have cornered the benefits of reservations, leaving out others in these blocs.
