AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge voiced serious concern over alleged attempts to undermine the rights of Scheduled Caste communities, stating that any such move would denote grave injustice for the oppressed and underprivileged. He warned that these actions would tarnish the image of party leader Rahul Gandhi, who has consistently championed their cause.

Speaking at the 'Samarpane Sankalpa' rally, marking the second anniversary of the Siddaramaiah government in Karnataka, Kharge highlighted irregularities uncovered during the ongoing socio-economic and educational census of SC communities. He pointed to the dramatic increase in the population of the Beda Jangama community, listed under the SC category.
