Rahul Gandhi's plan exposed; Congress in a bind; uproar over caste | Capital TV
Senior Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and party president Mallikarjun Kharge have stepped up pressure on the central government regarding a nationwide caste census and the representation of Other Backward Classes. Speaking at recent political events and meetings, the opposition leaders demanded clarity on the methodology and timeline for the upcoming census, making social justice a central theme of their political strategy. This push has sparked a major political debate across the country, placing the ruling establishment in a tight spot as opposition parties unite over the demand for comprehensive demographic data. Critics and political opponents have raised questions about the timing and motives behind the intensified campaign, leading to heated discussions in political circles. The Congress party aims to leverage this issue to mobilize key voter segments ahead of upcoming state elections and national political battles.
Rahul Gandhi and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge have intensified the debate over caste census, OBC representation and the methodology of the upcoming census. Congress has objected to the current questionnaire and demanded a clearer caste identification system, including an OBC category. The party argues that accurate caste and socio-economic data is essential for social justice, reservation, education, employment and welfare policies.
