BJP has earned a certain credit, e.g. in 1992, its UP government introduced legislation against a very popular form of corruption: copying during exams. The next Government, headed by Mulayam Singh Yadav, championed the Backward Castes cause and denounced this law as “anti-Backward” and immediately abrogated it upon coming to power in 1993.221 In 1998, the BJP reintroduced it again.
