Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has grown indifferent towards Extremely Backward Classes who are, by and large, supporters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, senior BJP leader and former deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi alleged.
At a press conference in Patna, Mr. Sushil Kumar Modi demanded the resignation of his ex-boss whom he squarely blamed for the adverse judgement of the Patna High Court that declared as “illegal” quotas for OBCs and EBCs in urban local body polls, which has caused the election process to hang in balance.
“The State's Advocate General Lalit Kishor had through communications dated February 4 and March 12 advised the State Government to set up a Commission to fulfil the Supreme Court's triple test criteria for such quotas. On March 22 and May 11, the State Election Commission also sought instructions from the government on the matter,” claimed Mr. Modi.
