LUCKNOW: As many as 17 backward castes would be included in the list of Scheduled Castes in UP very soon. Indications to this effect were given by Samajwadi Party Supremo who held that the previous government didn't do justice with the people. Addressing reporters, Yadav said that his government had issued a notification for declaring these castes as SC. But the order was cancelled by the BSP government. He assured that the Akhilesh government would soon issue the notification of inclusion.
Those to be includes are: Rajbhar, Nishad, Mallah, kahaar, Kashyap, Kumhar, Dheemar, Bind, Prajapati, Gheevar, Bhar, Kevat, Baatham, Machchua, turaha, Manjhi and Gaur. This may play a significant role in the caste equations in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. The reason is that all dalits do not favour for BSP or Mayawati. Political analysts say that while Jatavs are the ardent ones, others particularly Pasis look for the candidate who suits them best. The others such as kori, dhobi and so on are also dicey. Now when these castes would be included, Samajwadi Party would stand to gain to some extent.
