Darbhanga DM says action to be initiated against Cong MP for defying prohibitory orders
CONGRESS MP and the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Thursday claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had ordered a nationwide caste census "out of fear" of the country's deprived sections.
Interacting with students from SC, ST, OBC and EBC categories at Ambedkar Hostel in Bihar's Darbhanga district as part of the party's 'Shiksha Nyay Samvad' programme, Gandhi said that the Prime Minister conceded the demand to avoid backlash from the deprived sections.
He exhorted youngsters to remain focused on three demands: an effective caste census, like in Congress-ruled Telangana, reservations in private educational institutions, and the release of funds under the SC/ST sub-plan.
Rahul said that youngsters can't expect these things from the ruling NDA. "But rest assured that your interest will be taken care of when we come to power, be in Bihar or at the Centre," it emphasised.
