PRAYARAJ: Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi reiterated his demand for a caste census on Saturday, arguing that it was necessary for reshaping policies to benefit 90% of excluded people, reports Rajeev Mani. He said corporate sectors, judiciary, media, Bollywood, and beauty pageants lack representation from OBCs , SCs , and STs . "90% of people are out of the system.
They have skills and knowledge but no connections. I have seen the list of employees in the 500 biggest corporates in India, and you will not find a single Dalit, tribal, or OBC," Rahul said in Prayagraj. He said PM Modi had to yield to public pressure regarding the Constitution.
Stressing that OBCs, SCs, and STs are his support base, Rahul said, "If anyone thinks a caste census can be stopped or that the 50% quota barrier will continue, they are dreaming." Rahul described the caste census as fundamental to Congress's policymaking. ".
