Bengaluru: Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge has expressed surprise over reports that Infosys founder chairperson Sudha Murty may opt out of the state’s socio-economic survey. Addressing the matter, Kharge emphasized the importance of the survey and the responsibility of public figures in shaping public opinion.

“The Caste Census is a government initiative. First of all, it is a survey that includes a lot of other information as well. It is surprising that a member of parliament makes such statements. Clearly, I think it is inspired by other BJP leaders or the co-direction, claiming it is voluntary, but more is expected from people like them because they inspire many generations and continue to do so,” Kharge said.

He added, “However, saying that I will not participate in a survey is not right. You could have refused to answer a few questions at most. The survey is only to understand the socio-economic and educational conditions of the people of Karnataka. If you are getting three meals a day, it is definitely not for you. However, we would have liked to know the socio-economic conditions of everyone.”

The Karnataka socio-economic survey, also referred to as the Caste Census, aims to provide comprehensive data on the living conditions, education, and economic status of residents across the state. The government hopes that insights from the survey will guide policymaking and ensure more targeted welfare schemes.
