Bihar caste survey fake, nation-wide census needed: Rahul Gandhi at Congress workers’ meet in Patna
Bihar Caste Survey: Rahul Gandhi Calls It ‘Fake’
PATNA: In a recent address to Congress workers, Rahul Gandhi, Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, raised serious concerns regarding the caste-based survey conducted in Bihar. According to him, the survey is nothing short of ‘fake’ and emphasizes the need for a comprehensive nation-wide census instead.
Context of the Statement
Gandhi’s remarks come amidst ongoing discussions about the relevance and accuracy of caste-based data in India. He argues that while the Bihar survey attempts to address caste inequalities, it ultimately falls short of providing a holistic picture of the demographic landscape of the country.
The Call for a Nation-wide Census
“What we need is a complete and authentic national census that can capture the true essence of our diverse population,” Gandhi stated. He believes that a nationwide approach would not only yield more reliable data but also ensure better policy formulation and socio-economic planning.
Political Implications
His comments have ignited discussions among political analysts and party workers in Bihar. Many see this as an attempt to position the Congress party as a champion of equitable representation and accurate demographic data. The call for a national census resonates with various sections of society
