This is also a way of targeting the opposition (grand alliance), where PM Modi has said that the opposition is trying to ‘steal’ Karpoori Thakur’s legacy. EBC (Extremely Backward Class) constitutes about 30-35% of the population of Bihar, which is a group of more than 100 small castes. Karpoori Thakur is the biggest symbol of these. To strengthen this vote bank, the NDA is projecting itself as the true heir to Karpoori Thakur’s legacy, especially in alliance with the JD(U)-led Nitish Kumar.
