Caste Census | How Congress Dodged Data And Betrayed Backwards| Oneindia

For over seven decades, the Congress Caste Census story has been one of deception. While the party projected itself as a voice of social justice, it quietly suppressed real empowerment—caste data. The Congress Caste Census issue resurfaced in Karnataka, where data was buried for years. From the UPA’s ₹5,000 crore SECC failure to internal contradictions and disrespect towards Dalit and tribal leaders, the truth about the Congress Caste Census exposes political doublespeak. Watch this report to understand why accurate caste enumeration was never a priority for the Congress party, and how BJP has changed the narrative. #CongressCasteCensus #CasteCensusTruth #UPAHypocrisy #BJPvsCongress #SocialJusticeDebate ~PR.282~HT.336~GR.124~
