All you need to know about Karpoori Thakur
Karpoori Thakur was born in 1924 in the Barber Samaj, one of the most backward sections of society. He was a remarkable leader whose political journey was marked by his unwavering commitment to the marginalized sections of society. He left his college to join the ‘Quit India Movement’ and also spent two and a half years in jail during the freedom struggle.
He was later arrested for participating in the workers’ and workers’ strikes in 1960 and 1970. Thakur became a member of the Bihar Legislative Assembly for the first time from Tajpur in 1952 as a candidate of the ‘Socialist Party’. He served as a minister and deputy chief minister before becoming the first non-Congress socialist chief minister of Bihar in 1970. After the Janata Party came to power, Thakur became the Chief Minister of Bihar for the second time.
He served twice as the Chief Minister of Bihar and was a prominent figure in the struggle against social discrimination and inequality. His commitment to affirmative action gave representation and opportunities to the poor, oppressed, exploited, and deprived sections of the country.
Among the reforms he introduced was prohibition. As Education Minister, he removed English from compulsory subjects in matriculation. During his tenure as CM, Thakur introduced the ‘Karpoori Thakur Formula’ for reservation for backward classes in government jobs.
He implemented 26% reservation for backward classes in Bihar. It was a move that paved the way for the Mandal Commission’s recommendations in the 1990s. Thakur’s commitment to affirmative action gave representation and opportunities to the poor, oppressed, exploited, and deprived sections of the country. His policies and reforms were pioneers in bringing significant changes in the lives of people.
Karpoori Thakur was the first to ban liquor in Bihar
Talking to reporters, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said that Karpoori ji worked for every section of the society. He worked for the backward and the most backward. Prohibition for the first time. He was the first to touch upon this important topic in the country. He had a wide impact across the country. We are also doing it in Bihar. They also believed in us. After his death, we started working on the path shown by him.
Dedicated to social justice, Karpoori Thakur is still alive in the hearts and minds of crores of countrymen.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote in a post on X, “I am very happy that the Government of India has decided to honor the great Jannayak Karpoori Thakur ji, a champion of social justice, with Bharat Ratna. On the occasion of his birth centenary, this decision is going to make the countrymen proud. Karpoori ji’s unwavering commitment and visionary leadership for the upliftment of the downtrodden and the underprivileged has left an indelible mark on the socio-political scenario of India. This Bharat Ratna is not only a humble tribute to his incomparable contribution but will also further promote harmony in society. “
Former Bihar CM Lalu Yadav wrote in his post, “My political and ideological guru late Karpoori Thakur ji should have been given Bharat Ratna long before now. We raised this voice from the House to the road, but the central government woke up only when the present #Bihar government of social concern conducted a caste census and expanded the scope of reservation for the benefit of Bahujan. Fear must come to the right politics on Dalit Bahujan concerns. “
Nitish Kumar strengthened Karpoori Thakur’s ideology: JDU
At the same time, JDU National Vice President and MP Bashistha Narayan Singh has said that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has further strengthened the ideology of Jannayak Karpoori Thakur. Following the path shown by him, he is engaged in the development of the state. By conducting a caste-based census in Bihar, the Chief Minister has increased the scope of reservation. Today, it has become a national issue. He said that Karpoori Thakur was a man of the era. The Yug Purush is the same, even if he is not there, people believe his ideas after years and are ready to follow it. Whose ideas are followed by millions of people?
What is in the ‘mind’ of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar? This question remains a topic of discussion in political corridors these days. Actually, Nitish Kumar has taken ‘big steps’ many times in the history of Bihar politics. Almost every time 15-20 days before these ‘big decisions’, the political stir in the state has been intensifying.
In such a situation, the time of Lok Sabha elections to be held this year is also approaching and these days the political climate of Bihar remains somewhat the same. This is the reason why speculations and efforts are going on in political corridors to fathom Nitish Kumar ‘s ‘mind’.
Not only this but in the last 24 hours, Nitish Kumar has also given three such signs, which have once again intensified the speculation of his taking a big step.
First: Sudden visit to the Governor
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar met Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar at the Raj Bhavan on Tuesday. Their meeting lasted about 40 minutes. The development had fuelled political speculation. Now the question is why Nitish Kumar went to Raj Bhavan to meet the Governor.
Second: Deleted posts on social media
Another indication of the speculation being made about Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is being made about his social media posts. In fact, Nitish shared a social media on Tuesday night about the decision to give Bharat Ratna to former Chief Minister Karpoori Thakur.
Third: Target on nepotism
Nitish Kumar visited Karpurigram in Samastipur village of former CM Karpoori Thakur on Wednesday on the occasion of his birth anniversary. Here he targeted familyism in politics. Along with this, he said many such things, which indicate the third indication that Nitish Kumar can take a big step.
Speculation about Nitish Kumar continues in Bihar. Meanwhile, the Congress has made a big statement about the sharing of seats in the alliance. Bihar Congress President Akhilesh Singh has said that the alliance will remain stable and intact in its present form. On seat sharing, he said that all colleagues should adopt a flexible approach in it.
He said that invitations have also been sent to all the allies of the grand alliance regarding the rally. The alliance will remain stable and intact in its present form. On seat sharing, he said that all colleagues should adopt a flexible approach in it. Earlier, he held a meeting with party workers, and block party officials regarding Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Nyay Yatra. Rajya Sabha MP Ranjeet Ranjan and state leader Ajit Singh were also present in it.
‘All colleagues have been invited to the rally’
The state president said that such a visit would never have happened before, as preparations are going on. A meeting has been held with all block-level workers regarding this. The rally will be made unprecedented by following the suggestion of Ranjit Ranjan. The rally will be held on the 30th. Party President Mallikarjun Kharge is also coming in it. Chief Ministers of many states can also attend. All the allies of the Grand Alliance, JDU, RJD, and Left leaders have been invited.
‘Coalition parties should adopt a flexible approach’
In response to a question, he said that the grand alliance in the state is stable. The alliance parties should adopt a flexible approach to seat-sharing for the Lok Sabha elections. The grand alliance will remain in its present form. MP Ranjeet Ranjan also addressed the press conference.
He said that the Nyay Yatra will start from the northeastern states and reach the state border on January 28 and 29. An atmosphere is being created about the journey, which is unprecedented. Unemployment and inflation are the real issues here. Due to the policies of the BJP government, a large number of people have gone below the poverty line. The Congress party has resolved that it will continue to fight for unemployment, inflation, and the rights of the poor.
At the same time, former UP CM Akhilesh Yadav said, “The Bharat Ratna announced posthumously to Jannayak Karpoori Thakur ji is actually the victory of the movement of ‘social justice ‘, which shows that even the traditional opponents of social justice and reservation have to bow down to the solidarity of 90% of the PDA people.” PDA unity is bearing fruit. “
Will Nitish and Lalu be different?
The path of Nitish Kumar and Lalu Yadav may soon be different. We are not saying this, but Jitan Ram Manjhi, an old friend of the Chief Minister, has claimed so. Jitan Ram Manjhi has clearly said that there is going to be a big game in Bihar politics. He claimed that after January 25, the path of JDU and RJD will separate.
‘Lalu-Nitish became CM due to Karpoori Thakur’s grace’, claims BJP’s Samrat Chaudhary
‘Lalu-Nitish became CM due to grace of Karpoori Thakur’
BJP state president Samrat Chaudhary said on Tuesday that former Bihar Chief Minister Jannayak Karpoori Thakur had a personality who connected directly with the people of the society. He expressed grief that in that period when it was said that people used to join the mainstream of politics after the age of 50, at the age of 65, they went on an eternal journey.
Addressing the gathering at the Jannayak Karpoori Thakur Birth Centenary Colleague Award Ceremony organized under the aegis of Jannayak Karpoori Thakur Foundation in Patna, Samrat Chaudhary said that revered Karpoori ji had dreamt that the poor of the village of this country should join the mainstream, become prosperous and stand up economically. Today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is engaged in fulfilling this dream.
He said in a clear tone that after Shri Babu, Karpoori Thakur ji became the only CM who cared about the development of the region and the poor. In that period, all CMs were made to enjoy power. It was Karpoori ji’s blessings that Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar could become the chief minister. He asserted that whatever reservation has been implemented so far, the BJP has helped in everything. Referring to the implementation of the Mandal Commission since the rule of Karpoori Thakur, he said that reservation was implemented only in the government running with the support of the BJP.
Targeting the RJD, he said that husband and wife were in power for 15 years in Bihar, but not a single person got the reservation, only their reservation was limited to their family. When the NDA government came to power in 2005, women could get reservations. Describing the BJP as a committed party, the BJP state president said that it has been said that leaders forget the promises when they come to power, but the BJP also fulfills the commitments. He said that 2000 years ago, Pandit Chanakya had dreamt of a united India and Emperor Ashoka ruled from this Magadha.
He said that to date there was no program in the name of Karpoori ji at the national level, but on the occasion of his birth centenary on January 24, the BJP has decided to cancel all other programs and organize a program on his birth centenary in Delhi.
The BJP president said in clear words that Karpoori was an ideology and whenever he needed it, the Jan Sangh supported him. He said that there is a need to understand today when a person of the new society sitting in the most backward row of the society can come out of the house and sit on the throne of Bihar.
Final Conclusion From aAditri Digital
In the labyrinth of Bihar’s political landscape, the swirling speculations surrounding Nitish Kumar’s political trajectory have reached a crescendo. The storm brewed with BJP’s Amit Shah hinting at a welcome for Nitish back into the NDA, triggering a cascade of conjectures. Jitan Ram Manjhi, Nitish’s old confidant, adds fuel to the fire, forecasting a divergence between JD(U) and RJD after January 25.
The political theater also witnessed Nitish’s acknowledgment of BJP President Samrat Chaudhary’s openness to his return, albeit with a note of disappointment about PM Modi not reaching out directly. Amidst these murmurings, Nitish strategically basks in the glory of the Bharat Ratna for Karpoori Thakur, subtly underlining his commitment to Thakur’s legacy of social justice.
However, the intricate dance of Bihar politics unravels subtle tensions. Nitish’s omission of Lalan Singh’s name in a public address sparks whispers of strained relations. The ideological echoes of Karpoori Thakur resonate, with Nitish claiming to tread his path, while political chess moves and cryptic signs hint at an imminent upheaval.
As Bihar braces for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the air remains thick with uncertainty, and the intricate interplay of political forces continues to shape the destiny of the state. Nitish Kumar’s next move may hold the key to the unfolding drama, leaving political pundits and the electorate eagerly anticipating the final act in this gripping political saga.
