The survey also stated that Yadavs, the OBC group to which deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav belongs, were the largest in terms of population, accounting for 14.27 per cent of the total.
The survey was ordered last year after the Modi government made it clear that it would not be able to undertake a headcount of castes other than Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) as part of the census.
