Mahisyas have been ready for years for the OBC standing, however Mamata fooled them. And now their favoured possibility is BJP

The OBC group of West Bengal has been ignored for a very long time. Due to the domination of the Bhadralok group in Communist events and TMC, different castes have been on the margins within the state. Therefore, BJP is concentrating on the non-Bhadralok group votes to return to energy within the state and has promised OBC standing to the Mahisyas.Mahisyas, a caste that’s believed to have originated from Kshatriyas and Vaishyas has a complete inhabitants of above one crore, making it the single-largest caste in Bengal. The group could be very influential in at the very least 50 constituencies of South Bengal – the place BJP has not carried out properly – and may swing the leads to its favour.Birendranath Sashmal, Sushil Dhara, and Satish Samanta, the distinguished figures of the group who led the independence motion in opposition to the British, are being dropped at the forefront by BJP after being forgotten for many years.The politics of West Bengal has all the time been dominated by Bhadralok Community, which constitutes three higher castes- Brahmin, Baidya, and Kayastha. These castes account for simply 20 per cent of the state’s whole inhabitants. But, all of the CMs of the state– whether or not of CPM, Congress, or TMC– have all been from the Bhadralok group. OBCs, SCs, and STs by no means had a say within the politics of Bengal. And this was as a result of the Communist Party by no means recognised the function of caste in social upliftment.Mamata Banerjee, the CM of the state for the final 9 years, ran the federal government identical to the Communists. The solely distinction was that she carried out even a better diploma of Muslim appeasement. The state has a 17 per cent quota for OBCs, 10 per cent of which is reserved for Muslims. Hindu OBCs represent greater than half of the entire OBC inhabitants however their quota share is lower than that of the Muslims. Apart from this, the state has a 22 per cent quota for SCs and 6 per cent for STs within the state authorities jobs and the state-supported academic establishments.Since the early 2010s, RSS has been tirelessly working within the state, particularly within the OBC and ST-dominated areas. Dilip Ghosh, the present President of West Bengal BJP, who was appointed in 2015, comes from Sadgop caste and is from the Jungle Mahal region-one of the backward areas of the state- of West Bengal. Therefore, BJP is concentrating on the Hindu OBC, SC, and ST votes to return to energy within the state.Presumably, within the 2021 meeting elections, the individuals from the non-Bhadralok group are going to reclaim their rightful place in West Bengal’s politics and this can change the picture of the state ceaselessly. The left-front and the TMC have destroyed the financial system of the state, due to this fact, a regime change is important to place the state again on the trail of development. Now, solely a regime change can convey again the golden days of ‘Amar Sonar Bangla’.
