Bhupalpally: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Thursday that if his party comes to power in Telangana in the upcoming assembly election, a caste survey will be conducted in the state. A survey like this, he said, would reveal how much Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao's family "looted" from Telangana.
Rahul Gandhi also alleged that the KCR government is the most corrupt in the country.
"We have already initiated caste surveys in Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, and Karnataka and will do the same in Telangana as soon as we come to power. The caste census will reveal how much KCR government has looted Telangana," Rahul Gandhi said while addressing Congress workers in Bhupalpally during his 'Vijayabheri Yatra'.
"When PM Modi and CM KCR give their speeches, the people of Telangana should question them about when they intend to conduct the caste census survey," he added.
Rahul Gandhi is on a three-day visit in Telangana as part of Congress' election campaign in the state which will go to the assembly polls on November 30.
Rahul Gandhi said that the most pressing issue in India right now is the caste census.
"It (caste census) is like an X-ray that reveals the percentage of BCs, SC, ST, and minorities, enabling equitable budget allocation."
Rahul Gandhi also alleged that under BJP's rule at the Centre loans of businessman Gautam Adani are being waived, while loans for poor farmers and workers are not.
" I'm asking Modi and KCR if only 5% of India's budget is decided by OBCs, does that mean only 5% of OBCs exist in India?" he asked. (with Agency inputs)
