May 01, 2025

Bhagalpur (Bihar) May 01, 2025 (ANI): Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor criticized political parties for using the caste census as a tool for political gain rather than genuine social reform. He questioned the BJP’s lack of action on Bihar’s caste survey findings and challenged Congress to implement data-driven schemes in the states it governs. Kishor accused both parties of exploiting the issue to stoke communal divisions for electoral advantage. On caste census, Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor said," This matter is more about political upmanship for political parties rather than social reform. BJP is already in power in Bihar, and a caste census was held in the state two years ago. BJP should tell what the Bihar govt did with the findings of the caste survey. Congress is in power in Karnataka, Telangana and Himachal Pradesh, so who has stopped Rahul Gandhi from making schemes based on data available? He has recently awakened to the fact that the situation can be improved with a caste census. You are not getting caste census done to help those communities but to spread communal disharmony for political gains."
