"Hollow claim"

- RAJESH KUMAR THAKUR @ New Delhi

AFTER launching a strong political narrative around reforming the Waqf system, the BJP is now preparing a broad outreach campaign on its decision to implement a caste census. It plans to frame it as part of the upcoming national census to boost social justice for marginalized and underprivileged communities.

Party sources shared with this newspaper that the campaign will particularly target Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and Dalits, aiming to counter the Congress's historical stance. BJP leaders and workers will tour OBC-dominated regions, promoting the government's commitment to social justice and data-driven policy-making.
