PM Modi should break silence on socio-economic census: Jairam Ramesh
Congress on Friday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should break his «silence» over the issue of conducting a socio-economic census and removing the 50 per cent cap on caste-based reservations. In a post on X, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said the prime minister should answer questions on caste census.
«The prime minister made many claims about himself at Nandurbar today. Many questions arise out of that, but I just want to ask three questions — everyone knows the marginalised communities cannot get their rights without the real numbers being revealed.»
«The first question is why the census was not done in 2021… Census is conducted after every 10 years. According to this, the census should have been conducted in 2021. Why did you delay the census for three years? Why did you stop Dalit and tribal communities from getting information about their population?» Ramesh asked
He said, «The second question is does the prime minister want an up-to-date socio-economic census or not? Why have you not broken your silence on this topic yet?»
