Congress dismisses caste census announcement as ‘diversionary tactic’ of government

IndiaTimes Thursday, 1 May 2025 ()
Congress criticized PM Modi for previously dismissing Rahul Gandhi's caste census demand as "urban naxal mindset," while now BJP leaders are claiming credit for the government's decision to enumerate caste in the delayed census. The CWC will convene to discuss the government's decision and potentially increase pressure on related demands, highlighting BJP's shift under Rahul's influence.
