Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today said that caste based census is a revolutionary step which will change the lives of people and if Congress comes to power, caste census will be conducted in Madhya Pradesh as well as at the national level.
Addressing in an election rally at Satna in Madhya Pradesh, Rahul Gandhi said that after coming to power in the state, the first thing to be done is conducting a caste census to know the exact number of OBCs in Madhya Pradesh. He said ‘It is like an X-ray which will reveal all (number of other backward class) and accordingly policies will be framed for their welfare’.
Rahul Gandhi alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi always said that he was an OBC, but he stopped talking about it soon after Congress raised the issue of conducting caste census in the country. The former Congress president said that out of the 53 IAS officers running the state in Madhya Pradesh, only one is from OBC. He claimed that this means that if the total budget of the state is Rs 100, the OBC officer has control over only 33 paise or 0.03 per cent. Gandhi also alleged that around 18,000 farmers have committed suicide in Madhya Pradesh in the last 18 years due to debt-related difficulties. Referring to unemployment, he said that demonetization and Goods and Services Tax (GST) attacked small-medium businesses & traders and this resulted in a situation of massive unemployment in the country. Voting for the assembly elections will be held in Madhya Pradesh on 17th November and the results will come on 3rd December.
