Ranchi. There has been a major reshuffle in Jharkhand Congress. Keshav Mahato Kamlesh has been made the state president of Jharkhand Congress. Finance Minister Rameshwar Oraon from the Congress quota has been made the leader of the legislative party. Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal has issued an official letter regarding this. At the same time, the Congress party has made Rameshwar Oraon, a minister in the Hemant cabinet, the leader of the legislative party in the assembly. A letter has been issued in this regard by Congress Organization General Secretary KC Venugopal. This responsibility of Keshav Mahato Kamlesh in Jharkhand is being considered very important in terms of the upcoming assembly elections.
Political experts are saying that Congress has taken a careful step and has played the OBC card. Congress has taken this step as per its strategy to woo the Mahto (Kurmi) caste in the state. The OBC population in Jharkhand is said to be 42 percent. In such a situation, Congress has adopted this political strategy to woo a large vote bank. Keshav Mahto Kamlesh is known as a well behaved and simple living leader. The biggest challenge before them will be to consolidate the OBC votes in favour of Congress and the alliance.
Tribals and OBCs together can make a difference
Let us tell you that the largest population in the state is of tribals, which is about 26 percent of the total population. At the same time, about 14-15 percent of the population is of Kurmi i.e. Mahato community, from which community Keshav Mahato comes. With this, the representation of the entire OBC class becomes 42 percent. In such a situation, the party has tried to strike a political balance by making tribal minister Rameshwar Oraon the leader of the legislative party and making a Kurmi (OBC) the state president of the party. Let us take a look at other information about Keshav Mahato.
