Census data will serve as a lifeline: Tejashwi
Tejashwi Yadav said in his post that the scientific data of caste census will work as a lifeline to remove socio-economic inequality and ensure wider participation of backward, extremely backward and Dalit communities in development. Does the Sangh want a “specific caste centric” system of its organization across the country?
The dangerous comment made by RSS on caste census once again proves that RSS and BJP cannot give up their negative ideological mindset towards SC/ST, OBC classes.

There will be boiling on the streets: Tejashwi
Along with this, the Deputy CM said in a warning tone that you may silence the Parliament but there will be unrest on the streets and you will not be able to control it. Dalits, backward people and the poor have assimilated the ideas of Baba Saheb. Now dominance will not work.
What did the RSS leader say?
In fact, senior Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) campaigner and Vidarbha province chief Shridhar Ghadge, while commenting on the caste census, had said that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is not in favor of this census. He said that RSS is working to strengthen social equality. Due to which discrimination between castes is ending. In such a situation, caste census will not send a good message to the society. He said that caste census will increase social inequalities in the country.
Caste is the main reason for social inequality: Shridhar Ghadge
Shridhar Ghadge described caste as the main reason for social inequality and said that we are in favor of social equality. Citing the example of Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi and other freedom fighters, he said that he also believed that caste should be abolished in a time bound manner. He claimed that if caste census is conducted then socially systemic problems will also come to light.
Caste census is necessary in the entire country: Akhtarul
Here, AIMIM state president cum Amour MLA Akhtarul Imam has described the caste census conducted in Bihar as a historic initiative of the state government. He said that this work should have been done long ago. Its widespread impact also seems to be on Indian politics. Other states should also follow this.
Economic and educational outline emerged from the calculations: Akhtarul
While analyzing the data of caste based census, Akhtarul Imam has said that through this census, the social, economic and educational profile of different castes and communities of Bihar has come to the fore. According to caste, people belonging to 14 and 3 percent of the population became Chief Ministers. But not making anyone from the 18 percent Muslim population the Deputy Chief Minister is evidence of political ignorance. The share of minorities and SCSTs in government jobs is less.
