Siddaramaiah urges CM to implement caste census report and submit it before SC
In the backdrop of the Supreme Court order on reservation to other backward classes (OBCs) in local body elections, the Social, Educational and Economic Survey or the caste census conducted by the Backward Classes Commission has assumed importance in Karnataka. In fact, the crucial taluk and zilla panchayat elections could even be put off indefinitely due to court order.
On Sunday, urging the ruling BJP to accept and implement the caste census report immediately, Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly Siddaramaiah, during whose tenure as Chief Minister the census had been conducted, suggested to Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai to present the report before the Supreme Court.
