Noting the BJP’s stubborn refusal to conduct caste census in the country, the Congress Working Committee (CWC) that met on Saturday in Hyderabad called for increasing the existing upper limit of reservation for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and OBCs.
Taking a serious view of what it perceived a serious assault on the Constitution by the Narendra Modi government, the CWC rejected the ‘One Nation, One Election’ proposal as yet another brazen attack on the federal structure of the country and voiced its strong opposition to the proposed Bill to change the appointment procedure of the Chief Election Commissioner and other commissioners of the Election Commission.
The party called upon all the democratic forces to oppose the Modi government’s deliberate attempts to undermine the principles and implementation of cooperative federalism.
