Karpoori Thakur EBC votes are shaping the Bihar Assembly elections this year. Former Chief Minister and Bharat Ratna awardee Karpoori Thakur’s name is resonating strongly among Extremely Backward Classes (EBCs). Political parties like BJP, JDU, RJD, and Jansuraj Party are all trying to win EBC votes in his name.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his campaign from Karpoori Village, Samastipur, which was renamed in Thakur’s honor. The NDA manifesto includes the Karpoori Thakur Samman Nidhi, highlighting his contribution to uplifting the poor. Known for his simplicity and honesty, Thakur twice served as Bihar’s Chief Minister and championed the rights of backward communities.
Nitish Kumar’s EBC reservation policy also reflects Thakur’s ideals. His family continues his political legacy — his granddaughter Jagruti Thakur is contesting from the Morwa seat with Prashant Kishor’s Jansuraj Party.
As Bihar votes on November 11 and 12, Karpoori Thakur’s influence remains strong. His vision for equality and opportunity still guides the political conversation and the EBC vote base in Bihar.
