Ajit Pawar backs Bihar-type caste survey in Maharashtra
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has expressed support for a caste census in the state, a move that puts the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in a difficult position as it has been against it. Pawar believes that a caste census is necessary to determine the distribution of benefits and funds based on population demographics. This statement is significant given the recent caste tensions in the state over reservations.
