The Opposition, including the Congress, welcomed the Bihar government’s caste census results and urged the government to conduct a similar exercise at the national level.
Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi said Bihar’s caste-wise survey revealed that 84 per cent of people in the state are OBCs, SCs and STs and their rights should be provided based on their population.
“Out of 90 secretaries of the central government, only three are OBCs, who handle only 5 per cent of India’s budget. Therefore, it is important to know the caste statistics of India. The greater the population, the greater the rights — this is our pledge,” Rahul Gandhi wrote on X.
