'This Is The First Step': LoP Rahul Gandhi Welcomes Govt Decision On Caste Census

While speaking on the Cabinet decision on Caste Census, Lok Sabha LoP and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said that the party ‘completely support’ it but also wants a timeline. He said, “We had said in the Parliament that we will make Caste Census happen. We had also said that we would scrap the 50% cap, the artificial wall that is in place. Narendra Modi used to say that there are just 4 cases. Don't know what happened but suddenly after 11 years, Caste Census has been announced. We completely support it but we want a timeline. We want to know that by when this will happen. This is the first step. Telangana has become a model in Caste Census and it can become a blueprint. We offer our support to the Govt in designing the Caste Census...There are two examples - Bihar's and Telangana's and there is a vast difference between the two.
