Modi ji, the caste census has started in Telangana from today. We will use the data obtained from this to formulate policies for the development of every section of the state. Soon this will happen in Maharashtra also. Everyone knows that the BJP does not want to conduct a comprehensive caste census in the country,” Rahul Gandhi said.

I want to tell Modiji clearly—you cannot stop the caste census across the country. We will pass the caste census in this parliament and break the wall of 50% on reservation,” he further stated.
