Congress on Caste Census: After Operation Sindoor, ceasefire and all -party delegation, the Congress has now started to surround the Modi government on the caste census by eyeing the Bihar elections. The Congress feels that in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the issue of increasing the limit of caste census and reservation played an important role in stopping the BJP at 240. In such a situation, before the Bihar elections, the Modi government suddenly announced to conduct caste census from October 2027. In such a situation, the Congress is now raising questions by calling it the Shigufa of the Modi government-
The first question is why was it chosen on October 2027 instead of starting immediately? Was it only to convey a message in Bihar elections? Second, what will be the model of caste census, why has the government not been able to tell this till date? The third question is, why does the government not announce to conduct caste census on the lines of Telangana government, including social, economic and political? If this does not happen, then it will be considered as a lollipop like women reservation. The fourth question is that the Modi government, which kept making fun of this demand of Rahul, kept referring to only four castes, he has suddenly announced this from Bihar elections. In such a situation, there is pressure from Rahul and public behind this announcement, but timing raises questions.
Question of former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel
On this issue, Congress General Secretary and former Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh Bhupesh Baghel said that to take votes, I come from backward classes and later say that there are only two castes in this country, rich and poor. When Rahul Gandhi used to talk about caste census, he used to ridicule him. Now when the country started saying, he announced. Rahul Gandhi said that nothing will happen only by census, what is his political social existence, according to him, it should be calculated. We are asking whether the government is running Rahul Gandhi or the BJP is running. Because what Rahul is saying, those people are doing it.
The big role of caste in the politics of Bihar
By the way, it is well known that caste has been playing a big role in the politics of Bihar. That is why after the announcement of the central government, the Congress and the RJD together are attackers about the survey of the Bihar government. While on the one hand, Rahul is questioning the survey of the Nitish government, describing the Telangana model as an ideal, the stunning aggressors are that Nitish and Modi are serious, so why do not put the increased reservation limit in the ninth list after the same survey, so that the limit of reservation can be increased on the lines of Tamil Nadu. Overall, every aspect is ready to use the caste census as a big piece on the board of election chess in the politics of Bihar.
