Nitish Kumar Attacks Central Government On Filing Affidavit Over Bihar Caste Based Survey: “Census Done At Centre Level, We Can’t Do”

On Tuesday, Nitish Kumar, the chief minister of Bihar, attacked the central government for its affidavit before the Supreme Court regarding the state’s plan to conduct a caste-based census.

At the opening ceremony for a recently built building at Nalanda University, CM Nitish Kumar said, “It is the central government’s duty to conduct a census, we only want to conduct a survey in the state. Census is what is done at the Centre’s level and we can’t do that. We want to gather financial information about different people irrespective of any caste, rich or poor, Hindu or Muslim living in the state so that, we can work for their welfare.”

On being asked about the upcoming INDIA alliance meeting in Mumbai on September 1, CM Nitish Kumar said, “Elections (2024 Lok Sabha) can happen at any time. It’s not necessary that they are conducted on time.”

Finance Minister of Bihar, Vijay Chaudhary slammed the government for filing an affidavit, while addressing a press conference at the party’s office he said, “Patna High Court also stands with the idea of Bihar government’s caste-based census. The central government is interfering in the matter. What the central government has done in the matter of caste census in the Supreme Court is not only comical, but it also stands against the benefits of the poor in Bihar.”
