NEW DELHI: While Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Monday once again raked up the need for a caste-based census, BJP has sought to underplay the row which it has triggered. The senior coalition partner of the NDA government in the state has also reiterated its trust in the leadership of the CM.
Talking to mediapersons in Patna, Kumar said a meeting of all the political parties of Bihar might be held later this week over demanding a caste census. “Many parties have agreed to the date. But we must have the consent of all parties for holding the meeting on any particular date,” he said.
