Views
In 2022, he showed his displeasure over the inclusion of Bhogta caste which was earlier in Scheduled Caste to Scheduled Tribe. As he belongs to Bhogta community and he as well as people from Bhogta community will not be able to contest Chatra Assembly constituency which is reserved for Scheduled Caste. According to him, it is a conspiracy against Bhogta as after inclusion in Scheduled Tribe, Bhogta people will not be able to contest Schedule Caste reserved seat and Bhogta people will not be able to win in Scheduled Tribe seat as they are minority in Scheduled Tribe reserved seat area.
