Hyderabad. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said he is fully committed to ensuring caste-based census in Telangana as well as presenting the state as a model for caste-based census in the country. Addressing the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee meeting here ahead of the caste survey to be launched by the state government from November 6, Rahul Gandhi said the caste-based census is the first process to be undertaken to assess the extent and nature of discrimination. .
“Therefore, I am fully committed to ensuring that not only is there a caste-based census in Telangana, but that Telangana becomes a model for caste-based census in the country,” he said. The Congress leader claimed that there is “a different kind” of caste discrimination in India and that it is possible? The worst in the world.
He said, “The artificial barrier of 50 percent reservation will be removed in the country.” The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that he wondered why the Prime Minister had not publicly said that he wanted to challenge the idea of discrimination in India. Rahul Gandhi asked, “Why is the Prime Minister afraid to ask how many Dalits, OBCs, tribals are there in corporate, judiciary, media?” The Congress leader said that in Parliament he has promised to conduct caste-based census at the national level on behalf of the party.
