Following the Union Cabinet‘s decision to include caste-based data collection in the upcoming national census, posters featuring Congress leader Rahul Gandhi have emerged outside the party headquarters in Delhi. The posters credit Gandhi’s advocacy for the caste census as a driving force behind the government’s decision. Slogans on the posters highlight Gandhi’s role in pushing for this initiative.
Rahul Gandhi welcomed the government’s move but emphasized that this is only the “first step.” He urged the government to provide a clear timeline for completing the census. Gandhi also acknowledged the role of political and public pressure in influencing the government’s decision.
