Caste Census : Rahul Gandhi Firm In Conducting If Vote To Power ; Points To Congress Slogan ‘Count’
File Picture
Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi has underlined his party’s resolve to conduct a caste census if voted to power, asserting that based on this right step along with economic mapping, the 50 per cent cap on reservation would be “uprooted”.
Gandhi said the Congress’ slogan is “count” because that would be the first step towards justice.
In a post in Hindi on X, the former Congress president said, “Have we ever wondered who is poor? How many are there and in what condition? Is it not necessary to count all this?”
क्या हमने कभी सोचा है कि गरीब कौन हैं? कितने हैं और किस स्थिति में है? क्या इन सभी की गिनती ज़रूरी नहीं?
बिहार में हुई जातिगत गिनती से पता चला कि गरीब आबादी के 88% लोग दलित, आदिवासी, पिछड़े और अल्पसंख्यक समाज से आते हैं।
