Congress leader Rahul Gandhi admitted that it was a mistake that congress led UPA government could not implement the caste census when they were in power for 10 years.

Rahul Gandhi mentioned that if the INDIA Bloc comes in power in Jharkhand they will implement caste census there.

Rahul Gandhi also said that, “UPA and Congress came out with the idea of a Caste Census. I consider it a mistake that we did not implement it then. We have a government in Telangana and we have a government in Karnataka. We are doing a detailed exercise, a public exercise where we are meeting with different stakeholders and we are preparing the questions of the caste census through a public discussion.”

Congress-led Telangana government recently made an announcement that they will conduct caste census there. Caste Census was conducted in Bihar when coalition government of JDU, RJD and Congress under the leadership of CM Nitish Kumar was Ruling there.

He further said that, “We have a very clear vision for the caste census. I guarantee you that when we implement the caste census, which we will do, as I have committed in the Lok Sabha and we will do in Jharkhand, it will be a huge step in the transformation and development of this country.”

Rahul Gandhi mentioned that, “BJP people have no idea even how to do this, even if they wanted to do it.”
