The Rashtriya Janata Dal on Tuesday accused the Centre of attempting to stop the caste survey in Bihar and "depriving" a large section of society of their rights.
RJD MP and party spokesperson Manoj Jha claimed that Solicitor General Tushar Mehta's presence in court on the matter shows that the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) is directly involved in attempting to block the caste survey.
"On PMO's directions, there is an attempt to block the caste survey which is almost complete in Bihar. This shows that the BJP and the Sangh want to deprive such a big section of society of their rights. This is their priority," Mr. Jha said in a video statement.
