Raipur: Chhattisgarh Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma launched a sharp attack on the Congress party over the issue of caste census, questioning the party’s intent and historical inaction despite holding power for decades at the Centre.

Speaking to the media, Sharma pointed out that key Congress prime ministers, including Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, and Manmohan Singh, had multiple years in office but never initiated a caste census.

“I want to ask everyone through media, 16 years, Nehru was PM, but caste census was not conducted, 15 years Indira Gandhi was PM but she did not conduct caste census, 10 years Man Mohan Singh, 5 years Rajiv Gandhi…none of them conducted caste census…they never did caste census but they (Congress) still wants credit for it,” Sharma said.

His remarks come amid a growing national debate over the need for an updated caste-based enumeration, with the Congress advocating for a nationwide caste census to ensure social justice and equitable representation.
