The allusion to the survey's finding that more than 80 per cent of the total population of the state was Hindu, bore a striking similarity to the infamous "80 versus 20" rhetoric of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Bihar BJP president Samrat Choudhary on Tuesday said he saw "80 per cent supporters" of his party in the findings of the caste survey released by the Nitish Kumar government the day before.
Addressing a press conference at the state BJP headquarters here, Mr Chaudhary also alleged that the report was prepared to suit politics of "appeasement practiced by RJD president Lalu Prasad and endorsed by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar".
"The BJP welcomes the caste survey, which was ordered by the state cabinet when it had 16 ministers, including two deputy CMs, from our party," said Mr Choudhary.
