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

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~
