PM Modi government wants to put caste census in cold storage: Congress

The Congress has accused the Modi government of attempting to delay the caste census and mislead the country by amending the women's reservation law. Jairam Ramesh, a Congress General Secretary, claims the government is using Article 334-A as an excuse for delaying the caste census results, which are expected in 2027. The Congress argues that both Bihar and Telangana completed their caste surveys within six months, contradicting the government's claim of delayed results. The party also accuses the government of using the women's reservation law to gain political mileage.
