Patna: Anyone can be roasted on the ‘caste political stove’ of Bihar. Nowadays the atmosphere is hot regarding the caste of Chakraborty Emperor Ashoka. There is a ‘war’ between the ruling Nitish Kumar’s JDU and the known enemy BJP. Bharatiya Janata Party’s ‘Chanakya’ is coming to the land of Magadha (Sasaram) to pay homage to the great emperor Ashoka. We should also bow our heads, if we don’t remember our forefathers then who will? But the political angle is not ‘greatness’, but eight years ago a BJP leader had discovered that Emperor Ashoka belonged to the Koiri caste. Since then the leaders started seeing amazing talent in the great ruler Ashoka. The Chief Minister of Bihar even got many inscriptions and statues constructed from Patna to Nalanda.

Keeping an eye on Nitish’s vote bank on the pretext of Emperor Ashoka

In fact, the leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party are hopeful that Nitish Kumar’s base vote bank (Koiri-Kurmi) will disintegrate sooner or later. BJP’s exercise is to make this vote bank in its court. It is estimated that their population in the state is about 10.5 percent. RJD’s Yadav vote bank (about 15 percent) can prove to be a very effective weapon for BJP in the competition. Perception and symbols play a big role in politics. For the last eight years, JDU, which considered itself entitled to Koiri-Kurmi votes, was dominating Emperor Ashoka. Now the entire focus of BJP is on Nitish’s vote bank. That’s why BJP is ready to draw a big streak from Nitish.

Has BJP become a party of Lalu-Nitish in Bihar? know the history

More than one bet for ‘Mission Chair’ in Bihar

Bihar is the only state among the Hindi-speaking states, where no person associated with the BJP could hold power. By the way, for the first time in Bihar, BJP was given the pleasure of power by Lalu Yadav. Lalu Yadav reached the Chief Minister’s chair for the first time only with the support of the Bharatiya Janata Party. After this, BJP continued to compete with Lalu Yadav for 15 years. For the second time, Nitish Kumar made BJP feel the power. It was fine from 2005 to 2013. Only then Narendra Modi and Amit Shah became powerful in BJP. Nitish Kumar considered it an insolence in pride and then a period of upheavals began. Both the parties (BJP and JDU) remembered ‘Chakravarti Samrat Ashoka’. JDU feels that its voters are united because of Emperor Ashoka, while BJP has made complete preparations to break into it. More than one bet is being made for the result.

No historical facts about Ashoka’s caste

By the way, before knowing the caste of Emperor Ashoka, cast analysis of his grandfather Chandragupta Maurya has to be done. Before that the caste of Chandragupta Maurya’s father Suryagupta Sarvarthasiddhi Maurya and his mother Murha have to be found. Then the caste of Chandragupta Maurya’s wife Durdhara, who was the daughter of Dhananand, has to be told. After so much investigation, the caste of Ashoka’s father Bindusara and his mother Shubhadrangi will have to be found. After so much research, Ashoka’s caste will be known for sure. Because in the rule of caste calculation of the Bihar government, it is clearly said that the caste of anyone will be registered according to his father. But where has the scholar, ruler and monk been identified with caste till date? After 2570 years, Chakraborty Emperor Ashoka is being tried to get ethnic identity for the pleasure of power so that the pleasure of the chair can be taken.
