Advocating once again for a caste census, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said the exercise will happen in the country and it will show the injustice meted out to Dalits, OBCs and Adivasis. The true meaning of a caste census is justice, he said, adding that his party will also "break the wall of 50 per cent" reservation limit.
Addressing the Samvidhan Samman Sammelan in Nagpur ahead of the November 20 Maharashtra assembly elections, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha hit out at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), accusing them of attacking the Constitution and thereby attacking the "voice of the country".
"Caste census will give justice to general (category), Dalits, Adivasis, minorities, women and all others," he said.
"Caste census will make everything clear. Everyone will come to know how much power they wield and what our role is," he said, adding, "We will also break the 50 per cent wall."
