Congress welcomes Bihar’s survey, seeks national caste census
"The caste census of Bihar has revealed that OBC (other backward classes) + SC (scheduled castes) + ST (scheduled tribes) are 84% there. Out of 90 secretaries of the central government, only 3 are OBC, who handle only 5% of India's budget! Therefore, it is important to know the caste statistics of India. Rights of the population should be proportionate to their population (jitni aabadi utna haq) - this is our pledge," Gandhi said in a post in Hindi on X.
