Sushil Modi also hit back on Upendra Kushwaha’s statement, saying that Nitish Kumar has not followed the procedure, due to which the people of the backward class of the state will not get the benefit of reservation in the municipal elections and Nitish Kumar is responsible for this.
Sushil Modi said that Nitish Kumar had given reservation arbitrarily despite the Supreme Court’s clear instructions that reservation cannot be given without triple test. Sushil Modi said that due to the arbitrariness of Nitish Kumar, the people of the backward classes of Bihar will be deprived of reservation in the Bihar municipal elections.

The Patna High Court has canceled the OBC reservation in the municipal elections to be held in Bihar this month and put a stay on the elections. On the petition against reservation, Chief Justice of Patna High Court Sanjay Karol and S. Kumar’s bench pronounced the verdict on Tuesday. The court accepted that the state government has given reservation to OBCs without a triple test as per the decision of the Supreme Court. While the backward castes were to be identified before giving reservation, but the government did not do so and directly gave reservation which is completely wrong.
