Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge welcomed the Indian government’s decision to include caste enumeration in the national census while criticizing the BJP and RSS for their historical opposition to reservation policies. He accused the BJP of attempting to mislead the public regarding Congress’s stance on the caste census and emphasized the party’s long-standing demand for such an enumeration. The Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs, led by Prime Minister Modi, made this decision, although a date for the census has yet to be announced.
