'My mistake': Rahul on caste survey delay in Cong-ruled states

July 26, 2025

Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Friday openly admitted that failing to conduct a caste census in Congress-ruled states was his personal failure, especially in addressing the concerns of Other Backward Classes (OBCs).

- PREETHA NAIR @ New Delhi

Speaking at the 'Bhagidari Nyay Sammelan' held for OBCs at Delhi's Talkatora Stadium, Gandhi took full responsibility for overlooking the issues of the OBC community during his 21-year political career and promised corrective action.

"I have been in politics since 2004, and when I reflect on my journey, I see where I did right and where I fell short. One mistake was not protecting the OBC section the way I should have," Gandhi said, addressing the gathering.
