On September 1, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav is leading a statewide protest in Bihar, demanding a nationwide caste census and the inclusion of a 65% reservation for OBCs, SCs, and STs in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution. The protest, taking place in Patna, highlights the party's dissatisfaction with the central government, particularly the BJP, which they accuse of opposing caste enumeration and reservation policies. The RJD has conducted a caste-based survey in Bihar and is pushing for its findings to be recognized at the national level. The protest is part of a broader effort to address reservation issues and ensure that the increased quota is constitutionally protected.
