Bahujan Samaj Party Chief Mayawati on Tuesday called on the state government to conduct the survey right away, saying though some parties are against it, this is the only way to justice for the OBCs.
In her post on X, Mayawati said: ''I don't want to be seen as a racist,'' she said.
She said the BSP is happy that the country's politics is taking a new turn in favor of the neglected, as a result of which even the most extreme 'anti-caste' and 'anti-Mandal' sects have become worried for their future.
On Monday, the government of Nitish Kumar in Bihar published results of its much-awaited caste survey months ahead of the 2024 election, which revealed that OBCs and EBCs account for 63 per cent of the state's total population.
The total population in Bihar was just over 13.07 crore, out of which the extremely backward classes were the largest social segment, followed by the Other Backward classes at 27.13 per cent.
