Jawhar Sircar, the TMC Rajya Sabha MP, thinks that these new caste categories are the ‘BJP’s four areas of complete defeat’. “If you see the women legislature percentage of the BJP, it is just tokenism. Compare it with the TMC and you can find. As far as the youths are concerned, the unemployment rate of the young people belonging to the age group 20-25 years is 45 per cent. In the case of farmers and poor, we don’t need to even emphasise. Everyone knows it,” says Sircar. He also adds that the BJP always tried to divide the marginalised castes through weighing on the non-dominant castes. “They focused on the non-Jatav Dalits and the non-Yadav OBCs to divide these communities,” says the MP.
