Ahead of the Madhya Pradesh Assembly polls, State Congress chief Kamal Nath on October 31 said if his party is elected to power, it will get a caste census done to ensure justice to the backward classes and set up a Commission to provide them equal opportunities.
Notably, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, during her poll rallies in Madhya Pradesh, has also pitched for a caste census, saying the exercise is necessary to know the exact number of people from OBC, SC and ST communities in the country so that policies can be framed accordingly to provide benefits to them.
In a post on his X handle on Tuesday, former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath said he is committed to making the backward class families prosper in the State.
