By Economic Times - 10 months ago
The BJP strategically nominates late leader Karpoori Thakur for Bharat Ratna, honoring his OBC championing. Born in 1924, Thakur served two short terms as Bihar's CM, implementing notable policies like alcohol ban. His birthplace renaming and recent caste survey affirm his lasting impact. Thakur's journey, from an EBC background, symbolizes social justice. BJP's move aims to leverage his legacy, especially among Bihar's EBCs, showcasing the evolving political dynamics in the state. Thakur's nomination is a pivotal moment in acknowledging his enduring influence on Bihar's socio-political landscape.
