With reservation occupying the centre stage in 2024 general election, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi accelerated his campaign for caste census saying he has clarity that he is not in pursuit of power. Instead, he is working to ensure representation for 90% of Indian population. At the same time he chided the Congress for making mistakes in the past, exhorting his party to transform its politics.
Mr. Gandhi was speaking in Lucknow on Friday at Rashtriya Samvidhan Sammelan (National Constitutional Convention) organised by the Samruddha Bharat Foundation.
The Constitution, Mr. Gandhi said, has been a success but not an overarching one. It has failed to fulfil the expectations of its founding members since its benefits are not extended uniformly to all groups.
