After announcing that the Backward Classes Caste Census would be taken up in Telangana, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy seems to be quite serious about introducing the Caste Census Bill in the next Assembly sessions.
This will be the first time that the BC caste census will be taken up in Telangana and the government is seriously working on it to introduce the Bill in the Budget Sessions likely to be conducted in February, highly placed sources confirmed to The Hindu.
Caste Census was promised by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during his election meetings in Telangana last November and the Chief Minister is committed to implementing the same. Mr. Gandhi has been quite clear about the Caste Census to ensure social justice and bring those sections into the mainstream that have been deprived of political and economic opportunities.
