It looked as if the BJP was a frontrunner in a political landscape defined by Thakur, Brahmin, Dalit and Backward Class vote banks. It boasted of a tall and reliable Thakur leader in the form of Rajnath Singh. The party had given a glimpse of its future strategy by making him the Chief of the screening committee. BJP did not need to worry much about the Brahmin votes, they being party's traditional supporters. It has an array of Brahmin leaders among its ranks from Kalraj …show more content…

But, Thakurs are second only to Brahmins in terms of resources and political influence. The state has seen powerful Thakur Chief Ministers like VP Singh and Veer Bahadur Singh.

    She writes about Delhi’s Bhagidari scheme and its effect on citizens’ access to the state. She argues that Bhagidari achieves gentrification of the state space and the channels of political participation.
