Patna: Two days after Union Minister Nityanand Rai Parliament Leader of Opposition in Bihar Legislative Assembly Tejashwi Prasad Yadav said on Thursday that the government has decided not to enumerate the population on the basis of caste other than scheduled castes and scheduled tribes as part of the policy. Prepare accurate population and plans accordingly.
“BJP supported caste based census in both Bihar Vidhan Sabha and Parishad. But his own Union Minister of State, who comes from a backward caste, has announced in Parliament that the Center will not conduct a caste-based census. Why has the Center decided to skip the OBC count? Why is it that BJP hates him so much? OBC And EBC?” Tejashwi asked.
He said that surveys are done to count the animals, vehicles and everything possible. “People are also counted on the basis of religion, but those who come from suppressed castes are omitted. The government has to add just one extra column while conducting the census and there will be no additional financial burden on it,” Tejashwi said.
he announced that RJD Will continue his fight for the cause as the case “relates to 65% of the country’s population who are oppressed, neglected and oppressed”. “Why is Modi Government refraining from counting the number of backward caste Hindus? Are those 70-80 crore backward caste people not Hindus? Tejashwi further asked.
RJD state spokesperson Chittaranjan Gagan said legislators from all parties, including the BJP and JD(U), had supported the proposal for a caste-based census in the Bihar assembly as well as the council. “The current stand of the BJP shows who they are guided by RSSGagan said.
JD(U) state spokesperson Arvind Nishad said the ruling party has been in favor of the caste-based census from the very beginning. “Knowledge of exact population will help governments to make appropriate plans and implement them. On the initiative of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, a resolution in this regard was passed in both the houses of the state legislature and a resolution was sent to the Centre.
