The Bihar Congress has officially revamped its organizational structure by appointing 53 new district presidents. This move, directed by the high command, saw the number of organizational districts increase from 40 to 53. The list reveals a strategic focus on the “Brahmin-Yadav” combine while balancing other influential communities like Bhumihars, Rajputs, and Dalits.

The Dominance of Brahmins and Yadavs

In a significant shift, both Brahmins and Yadavs have secured the highest representation with 10 seats each. By appointing 10 Yadav presidents, the Congress is seen as mirroring the strategy of its ally, the RJD, to consolidate the state’s largest voting bloc (14.26% of the population).

Upper Caste Representation: Bhumihars Outpace Rajputs

The ‘Savarna’ or Upper Caste category holds a lion’s share in the new list with 24 out of 53 posts. Interestingly, Bhumihars (7) have outnumbered Rajputs (5) in this reshuffle. Other appointments include 2 from the Kayasth community and 1 from the Sikh community.

Social Engineering: Balancing Dalits, Muslims, and OBCs

To ensure a “Guldasta” (bouquet) approach, the party has distributed roles across various segments:

Muslims: 7 Seats

Dalits (SC): 7 Seats

Obsession (OBC): 3 Seats (Targeting the Luv-Kush equation)

Others: 1 Seat
