Once again there is going to be a major reshuffle in the politics of Bihar, and this time something is going to happen within the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) which can completely change the traditional equations of the party. RJD, which strengthened its political base for decades with the help of ‘MY’ (Muslim-Yadav) equation in Bihar politics, has now, sensing the urgency of the times, embarked on a new and modern path. Party youth leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav has started working on the ‘A to Z’ formula to make the organization more sharp, inclusive and all-embracing. Under this new political strategy, the positions of the Yadav community, which was traditionally dominant within the party, are now being cut, so that other sections and castes of the society can also be given a fair share in the organization. Not only this, now a big decision has been taken to make energetic youth in the age group of 34 to 40 years as District President, bypassing the old age criteria, to take charge of the party at the district level. In today’s detailed and deeply analyzed article, we will discuss in detail every aspect of Tejashwi Yadav’s new RJD’s ‘A to Z’ plan, organizational changes and its deep impact on the political future of Bihar so that you can be completely aware of this big provincial news.
What is Tejashwi Yadav’s ‘A to Z’ formula and why is there a need for this big change in the party?
Seeing the election results and the changing nature of social equations for some time, Tejashwi Yadav had realized that if the party has to travel to power in the state, then it will have to go beyond the scope of only one or two castes and include all the castes, classes and communities with itself. Under this far-reaching thinking, ‘A to Z’ (i.e. taking every section of the society along) plan has been prepared. Political analysts believe that RJD has often been accused of becoming a party of only a particular class, and to break this image, Tejashwi Yadav has taken this bold step. In this new organizational structure, the upper castes, extremely backward classes, Dalits and Mahadalits are also being given important responsibilities within the organization, so that voters of every section feel that RJD is as true protector of their rights as the governments of other parties.
Bet on 34 to 40 year old youth for the post of District President: Confluence of enthusiasm with experience
In this new organizational change process, the most talked about thing is that now young faces are being given preference instead of elderly and traditional leaders to strengthen the organization at the district level. Tejashwi Yadav has given clear instructions that such leaders whose age should be between 34 to 40 years should be selected for the post of District President. On one hand, the leaders of this age group have youth-like enthusiasm, understanding of technology and ability to work in the field, while on the other hand they are completely dedicated to the ideology of the party. In order to shake out the old and sluggish organizational system, this youth brigade will now go directly among the people from booth level to district level and propagate the party’s policies and give a befitting reply to the opponents.
Cut in traditional equations: How will the political mathematics of Bihar change due to reduction in Yadav posts?
The biggest and shocking part of this new change within the RJD is that the quota of the Yadav community, which has traditionally had the strongest hold on the organizational posts of the party, is being reduced. Political experts say that this step may seem a bit strange to some old and staunch supporters of the party, but it can prove to be a very strategic and masterstroke in terms of electoral victory. When other castes will also get adequate representation within the party, the opposition parties will have no chance to say that RJD is just a caste-specific party. This adjustment is also sending a positive message among the extremely backward and upper castes, which has the potential to completely influence the polarization of votes in the upcoming assembly elections.
What will be the impact of this new strategy on the upcoming elections and what is its political significance?
No decision in Bihar politics is taken without some far-reaching political gain or loss, and this step of Tejashwi Yadav is proof that he now wants to rise above traditional politics and play the role of a modern and aggressive opposition. This exercise of reinventing the organization on the ground is infusing a new enthusiasm among the party workers. However, it will be very interesting to see how much benefit the party can get from it when this ‘A to Z’ formula and the team of young district presidents comes into full effect. We hope that this detailed report would have been successful in making you completely aware of the latest and important news related to the politics of Bihar and you will remain continuously connected with every political update of the state.
