By LokMarg

Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday said that Caste-based census will bring everyone together and it will integrate our society.

Akhilesh Yadav said, “Caste-based census will bring everyone together. the castes that were left behind, those who are not given respect and rights yet, and those who think that their population is more but they are not getting anything according to it, I think caste-based census will integrate our society… All castes will get rights and respect,”

Earlier, following the release of the caste survey report by the Bihar government, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav expressed his support for it and called on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to set aside politics and conduct a nationwide caste census.

Akhilesh Yadav took to X and said “Bihar caste-based census published: This is the mathematical basis of social justice. The caste census will not open a new path of 85-15 conflict but of cooperation and those who are not domineering but are supporters of everyone’s rights, they support and welcome it. Those who really want to get the rights, get the caste census done. The BJP government should leave politics and conduct a nationwide caste census.”

Akhilesh Yadav further stressed that conducting a caste census is a catalyst for the progress of the country. He explained that when people have knowledge of their population within various caste groups, it fosters self-confidence among them.

“When people come to know how many they are, then self-confidence awakens among them and also a social consciousness against social injustice, due to which their unity increases and they can overcome the obstacles coming in the way of their progress. They create new paths and also end the injustice being done by the traditional powerful people of the society. With this, the society moves on the path of equality and the country develops in an integrated manner. The caste census is the path to progress of the country,” Akhilesh Yadav said.

Earlier former Congress President Rahul Gandhi also endorsed the Caste census and vowed that Congress ruled states would conduct these surveys.

“We will not let anyone insult the Adivasis, Dalits or the OBC communities. We will get the Caste census done and ensure that they get their rightful due” said the Congress leader in a post on X. (ANI)

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Sunday, wrote a letter to PM Modi requesting him to direct authorities to release the Census schedule soon.

In the letter addressed to PM Modi, Baghel said that Census helps in formulating the developmental policies of the country.
“For the last 150 years, Census is being conducted every 10 years. It helps in collecting data related to the social, cultural and economic changes in the last ten years. It helps in formulating the developmental policies for the country,” Baghel said in his letter.

He said that the data provided by the last Census, conducted in 2011, are not applicable 12 years later, in 2023.

“In 2011, for the first time, social, economic and caste census was also conducted, based on which the current welfare schemes are being carried out. But, the census data was only applicable for a period of 10 years. The data provided are not suitable after 12 years. It would be better if a new survey is carried out at the earliest. In the survey, it should also be found how much benefits actually reached to the deprived sections,” the letter further read.

CM Baghel urged PM Modi to direct the relevant authorities to fix the date for conducting the census.

“Keeping in consideration the importance of the census, and interests of the poor, I request you to kindly notify that the dates for the census program soon,” Baghel added. (ANI)
