Exuding confidence that the Congress party will sweep the November 30 Assembly elections in Telangana like a tidal wave, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said the party will take up caste census to promote social justice, implement its 6 guarantees for the welfare of all and usher in Janata sarkar (People’s government) in a mission mode.
Caste-based census is imperative to achieve social justice and empowerment of the underprivileged and marginalised sections of the society, he said, criticising the Narendra Modi-led BJP regime at the Centre for remaining ‘silent’ on the vital issue.
Addressing a huge public meeting in Telangana’s Peddapalli town on the second day of the party’s ‘Vijayabheri’ bus yatra drumming up support for the party candidates on Thursday, Mr Gandhi turned the spotlight on the caste census and took both the BJP government at the Centre and the BRS regime in Telangana for their “callous apathy” towards the empowerment of OBCs and other weaker sections.
