Former Minister and MLC A.H. Vishwanath urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to receive the caste census report submitted by H. Kantharaj, the former Chairperson of Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes.
Speaking to reporters after wishing the Bishop’s house and exchanging Christmas greetings with Archbishop Emeritus Bernard Moras in Mysuru on Monday, Mr. Vishwanath wondered why certain organisations were opposing the caste census report without reading it.
“I don’t understand it. Who has read the caste census report. Nobody has laid their hands on it yet. Without seeing it, how can you term it as unscientific,” Mr. Vishwanath said when his attention was drawn to the resolution passed by the Veerashaiva Mahasabha to oppose the caste census report’s acceptance by the State government.
