Addressing a press conference at the Congress headquarters in Delhi, party leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday questioned the media on caste diversity, and used the response from reporters present at the event to justify the party’s push for a caste census across the country.
The press conference was held after the Congress Working Committee’s meeting on Monday. “The PM is incapable of doing the caste census. Our three out of four CMs are from the OBC category. Out of 10 BJP CMs, only one CM is from the OBC category. How many BJP CMs are from the OBC category? The PM doesn’t work for the OBCs but to distract them from main issues,” Gandhi said at the press interaction, which came days after Bihar released the findings of a caste census in the state. Congress-governed Rajasthan and Karnataka have already announced the survey.
