The release of caste data by the Bihar government has put the BJP's Hindutva vote bank agenda at risk, as caste politics has always been a counter to their strategy. With the new data likely to spark demands for a review of backward caste reservation, the BJP may need to deviate from its usual tactics. The party could consider implementing the Rohini Commission's suggestions for internal quota within OBC reservation or focus on the inauguration of the Ram temple to blur caste lines.
