The Congress on October 3 questioned how Prime Minister Narendra Modi could claim to be a leader of the other backward classes (OBC) if his government would not conduct a caste survey.
The party also distanced itself from the now deleted comments of Abhishek Singhvi who, in a post on X, had claimed that the formula of ensuring rights “proportionate to the strength of a community” would lead to “majoritarianism”.
Addressing a press conference at the All India Congress Committee headquarters, Capt Ajay Yadav (retired), who heads the party’s OBC department, asserted that the Bihar caste survey would change the direction of politics as well as policy.
