Party sources said that it could be benefited due to interview being removed from the Group C and Group D jobs. Many people have been able to get through jobs from the other sections than the dominant OBCs.
Sources said that the party has this information on the decision of the government doing away with the interview in Group C and Group D services has a positive impact among the marginalized section within the OBCs. The big chunk of jobs was captured by the dominant section of the OBCs. So basically the new beneficiary belonged to the Most Backward Communities (MBCs) which the BJP wants to cash in on.

Sources informed that the most interesting aspect of this campaign is that the BJP will entrust this responsibility with more on such leaders who have joined the ranks of the BJP from the political parties like the SP, the RJD, the Janata Dal (U) or any other political outfit predominantly caste based. The similar campaign is planned for Scheduled Caste and Youths as well.
