Veerashaiva Lingayat Mahasabha leaders are carefully going through the caste census survey handbook that was released on Thursday after the cabinet meeting gave its nod.

They are counting all the Veerashaiva Lingayat sub-castes, as the last caste census pegged their population at just 66 lakh. Community leaders had insisted that the real number was closer to 1.25 crore, and blamed the gap on the exclusion of several sub-castes.

Mahasabha sources said the state government had printed copies of the census handbook earlier, but had to discard it because of many errors. Now that the fresh handbook has been released, they said they would officially respond on Friday.
