An allegation of caste discrimination by Bihar's chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has shaken up the state's backward sections – a development that directly affects the Bharatiya Janata Party, which is hoping to consolidate the Hindu vote before the Assembly elections next year.

Manjhi set off a storm on the weekend when he spoke an event to commemorate the state's first Dalit chief minister, Bhola Shastri. Manjhi, himself a member of one of the state’s most backward castes, said that authorities in a temple in Madhubani district had ritually purified the shrine after he visited it last month.
