Rahul Gandhi at press conference

Rahul Gandhi on Monday asserted that the Congress ruled states, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka will hold caste census. The senior Congress leader added that they held a discussion on caste census and a historic decision has been taken by the Congress Working Committee.

He noted that the Chief Minister’s of the Congress ruled states decided to conduct caste census. Furthermore, Rahul Gandhi mentioned that his party will pressurise the BJP to conduct a caste census because the country needs it. He stated that as far as the INDIA alliance is concerned, most of the parties will support it. However, there might be few parties who might not support it but the Congress don’t have any problem, he mentioned.

Rahul Gandhi also explained that the caste census is not about caste or religion, but it is about poverty. He underlined that the caste census is for the poor and that today the country has two Indias. The Congress leaders also remarked that they will not conduct a caste census and conduct an economic survey consecutively.

Earlier, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge once again raised the demand for conducting a nationwide caste census to ensure social justice and rights to Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in accordance with their population, adding that the BJP is silent on this matter. The Congress President pointed out that for proper share in welfare schemes, it is important to have socio-economic data on the condition of weaker sections of society and ensure social justice to them.

Last week, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot affirmed that his government will also conduct a caste survey like the one held in Bihar. He added that  senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s concept of caste survey and participation in proportion to the population would be furthered in the state.

Omar Abdullah, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister cautioned the people not to divide this country on the basis of religion, otherwise a storm will unleash making the survival of the nation difficult.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had earlier sparked a controversy last month as he commented that the Congress would take away the hard-earned money of the masses and distribute them among infiltrators and those with many children.  Speaking at a rally today, the Prime Minister took a jibe at the Congress and said the governments in the past were not able to implement the Indian Constitution in Jammu and Kashmir.

He advised Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge not to speak lies for a family as eventually he will have to take the blame for the party’s loss in the Lok Sabha elections. Shah accused Congress of nurturing terrorism and Naxalism to win the Lok Sabha elections.

Shah further added that Congress claims if Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji gets majority for the third term, he will scrap reservation. He said the grand old party has even circulated his fake video. Shah said that have been in power for the last 10 years and PM Modi did not remove reservation, nor will he do it in the future.

The Union Home Minister further asserted Modi ji used the majority to scrap Article 370 and triple talaq, construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and introduce the Citizenship Amendment Act. He further told the Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge that Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi do not belong to anyone. He said on June 4 Congress will suffer defeat and the brother-sister duo will remain safe, but Kharge ji will be blamed.

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi was addressing a rally in Assam’s Dhubri on Wednesday where she said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not stop JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna from leaving India. She said PM Modi is far away from the reality of common people and has no understanding of their miseries as he has become egoistic.

This was not the first time that Priyanka Gandhi attacked PM Modi over the sex scandal. Earlier this week, she questioned PM Modi’s silence over the matter. Gandhi said Prajwal Revanna who stood along with PM Modi, for whom the prime minister asked for votes, has been accused of abusing thousands of women.  She added the numbers are staggering and asked Modi’s response over the matter. Gandhi said she was keen to hear what the Union home minister had to say on the matter.

Priyanka Gandhi recollected that a few days earlier she had travelled abroad to visit her daughter. She said the Prime Minister and Home Minister are constantly discussing her overseas trips. She said they are well aware about when she is going to travel and are even keeping track of opposition leaders’ travels. Yet, when an accused, someone like him Prajwal Revanna, leaves the country, they claim ignorance. How can anyone accept this? She said the matter has slipped away right under their noses after committing such a grave offence, and yet they remain silent.

The Congress leader also alleged there was a mafia raj in BJP-ruled Assam. She also attacked Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma. She said there have been very serious charges against Himanta Biswa Sarma when he was in the Congress party. As soon as he changed sides to BJP, all charges against him were dropped. Gandhi further added the BJP has developed a washing machine where corrupt people are put and the Assam CM was the first one in this regard.
