He further stated, “Conducting a caste census will reveal the number of people belonging to different social classes, which will help in planning for their upliftment and development. This will accelerate the development of the country. Congratulations and thanks to the Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji for the decision.”Tejashwi Prasad Yadav has also been consistently attacking the BJP and its allies, particularly JD(U), for not placing amended reservation laws under the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution, which would shield them from judicial scrutiny.Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has also repeatedly demanded a caste census from the Centre during his public meetings, describing it as an “X-ray and MRI of society.”Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor, however, said that the announcement of a caste census along with the general census would not serve any purpose unless policies are framed based on the outcomes of the census report. “It will be beneficial for the country only when policies are formulated on the basis of the census results,” he told the media.
