Kharge further accused the BJP of practicing casteism, “Then President Ram Nath Kovind not invited to foundation laying of new Parliament building as he is 'untouchable'". "If the foundation laying was done by an untouchable, then naturally it would have to be washed with Ganga water," he said, referring to the former president's caste.

You have the figures. Show it to the people of India. And you should conduct the next census on the basis of caste.

Do not insult the OBCs. Do not cheat the OBCs," Gandhi said. He said, "As soon as I started raising the issue of caste census in Parliament, BJP MPs tried to suppress my voice." Gandhi said there is a fight of ideology going on between the BJP and the Congress in the country.
