“If our government is formed in Chhattisgarh, caste survey will be done,” says Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, declared on Wednesday that the caste census will be the first document signed when their government is formed in Delhi.

He said, “This (caste census) will be the most revolutionary decision after independence.”

While addressing a rally in poll-bound Chhattisgarh’s Bemetara district, Rahul Gandhi said, “When it comes to giving rights to OBCs, they say there are no OBCs. There is only one caste in India, the poor. There are OBCs, and we will find out how many there are. Whether it’s 10, 20, or 60 per cent, you will get as much participation as there is population. If debts are forgiven, it will be of farmers, not billionaires. Whether Narendra Modi does it or not, if our government is formed in Chhattisgarh, a caste survey will be done here. When our government is formed in Delhi, the first signature will be on the caste census.”

“The day the OBCs, Dalits, and tribals of this country find out their true population and their true power, this country will change forever. After independence, (conducting caste census) this will be the most revolutionary decision,” Rahul Gandhi said.

“Rs 15,000 will be credited to accounts of all women of the state every year by the state government,” he continued

“Chhattisgarh government has taken a historic decision: free education will be provided to students from KG to PG,” he further said.

Chhattisgarh assembly elections’ second phase will take place on Friday. November 7 marked the end of the state’s first round of elections. Elections in Rajasthan are scheduled for November 25.

Both states are ruled by the Congress. With 68 of the 90 seats, the Congress took control of Chhattisgarh while BJP secured 15 votes.
