Rahul Gandhi, Kharge to attend congress on caste census

HYDERABAD: AICC leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjuna Kharge are most likely to attend a Congress-organized event here on November 5, the eve of the caste census. The event is to be organized at the Gandhian Ideology Center in Bowenpally, Secunderabad, and is aimed at gathering public views and suggestions on the caste census.

The caste census initiative was a fundamental promise made by Rahul Gandhi during the Assembly elections. This was being achieved by the Revanth Reddy government, said TPCC president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud.
The caste census is a political decision by the party’s national leadership which has promised to hold a national caste survey if voted to power at the Centre. The caste survey was being completed in the Congress-ruled states.

Goud criticized the BJP and BRS for their opposition to the caste census, saying: “Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is dedicated to providing governance that matches the trust of the people. » He questioned the BJP’s sincerity towards the Backward Classes (BC) and criticized the previous BRS regime for not releasing the report of a comprehensive household survey conducted in 2014.
