‘Caste calculation will eliminate caste inequality’

He emphasized that caste calculations will eliminate caste inequality, participation in resources and political representation will increase.
‘Use as policy equipment’

Leader of Opposition in Bihar Legislative Assembly Tejashwi Yadav described the decision of the Center as the victory of socialists and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad. Soon after the announcement of the Center, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad said that when he was the national president of the Janata Dal, the United Front government had decided to conduct a caste-based calculation in 2001 in 1996-97. He said, “However, the then RJD government led by the late Atal Bihari Vajpayee did not implement it. In the 2011 census, we again raised a strong demand for caste calculations in Parliament. ”
