Rahul Gandhi said, “Look at India’s 500 largest companies — none belong to backward or Dalit communities. All are from the top 10 percent.” He said this shows how wealth and power stay with a few, leaving most citizens behind.

The Rahul Gandhi 10 percent claim sparked debate across Bihar. Gandhi urged for an India that gives equal space to 90 percent of the population to live with dignity and happiness. He said the Congress party always stood for backward communities.

Recently, Tejashwi Yadav became the Chief Minister candidate, and Mukesh Sahni from the VIP party was named Deputy CM. Many groups, including AIMIM, questioned why a Muslim leader was not selected. Muslims form 18% of Bihar’s population, while Sahni’s community has only 2%. Critics said both groups deserve equal chances.

To avoid vote division, the Grand Alliance delayed the second Deputy CM announcement. Pappu Yadav also reminded that Rajiv Gandhi wanted Tariq Anwar as CM, and Indira Gandhi made Bhola Paswan Shastri and Abdul Gafur Chief Ministers. Rahul Gandhi Dalit Muslim Deputy CMs idea continues this inclusive tradition.

Senior leaders like Motilal Prasad, Mithilesh Kumar, Ram Surat Rai, Nikki Hembrom, and Rashmi Verma did not get tickets. The Kahalgaon and Barauli seats went to JDU, while Govindganj and Paru went to LJP and RLM.

The BJP focused on caste balance in its list. It fielded 49 upper-caste, 40 backward and most-backward, and 12 Dalit candidates. However, the list includes no Muslim candidates. This time, the BJP gave tickets to 21 Rajputs, 16 Bhumihars, 11 Brahmins, 13 Vaishyas, and only 6 Yadavs, down from 15 in 2020.

The Bihar BJP 2025 candidate list shows the party’s effort to mix caste representation with political strategy.

RJD will contest 125 seats, Congress 50–55, and Left parties about 25. Tejashwi’s leadership is seen as a unifying step, shifting RJD’s image from Yadav-centered politics toward a broader social base. Congress and VIP leaders call it a sign of inclusive governance.

However, critics argue the plan is a “false message” before elections, suggesting it may cause internal rivalry. Political analysts believe this formula could help Tejashwi by reducing dynasty politics allegations and assuring representation to weaker sections.
