Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday announced he would table the report on the recently released caste-based survey in the both Houses of the State Assembly in the upcoming winter session, which is likely to commence in December. Mr. Kumar stressed that future plans, including extending reservations, would be made after a detailed discussion on the report.
“We have completed the caste-based survey after the consent of all the political parties and the report has been released. Now the report will be tabled in both Houses of the Bihar Legislature. Details of the economic status of all the families will also be placed in the House, irrespective of caste and religion. All the MLAs and MLCs will be given a copy of the report so that everyone will come to know about each and every detail. After proper discussion and feedback, further work will be executed. Don’t ask me much on this issue right now,” Mr. Kumar said on the sidelines of an event to mark the birth anniversary of Jayaprakash Narayan.
Mr. Kumar was accompanied by Deputy Chief Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav; Bihar Legislative Council Chairperson Devesh Chandra Thakur; Janata Dal-United (JD-U) national president Rajeev Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Singh; Finance, Commercial Tax and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Vijay Kumar Chaudhary; Revenue and Land Reforms Minister Alok Kumar Mehta, and others.
