He accused the government of using the bill as a “distraction” and claimed that it won’t be implemented “for 10 years” and maintained that “there is no need to wait for the census or delimitation exercise” but the legislation should be “implemented immediately”. He reiterated demand for a caste census and sought an answer from the PM why “among the 90 top secretaries of the government, only three were OBCs” and claimed these three “only control 5% of the budget”.
