In a fervent appeal for a nationwide caste census, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi emphasized its importance for inclusive policy-making and social justice. Speaking at the 'Samvidhan Samman Sammelan,' he highlighted that 90% of Indians are excluded from societal systems despite possessing skills and knowledge.

Gandhi argued that a caste census would serve as a foundational tool for policy-making, enabling more equitable representation across various demographic sectors. He likened the caste census to the Constitution, describing it as a guide for the Congress's policy framework.

Criticizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's governance model, Gandhi advocated for recognizing the contributions of marginalized communities like Dalits, OBCs, and tribals. He insisted that the nation's future policies must reflect the diverse needs of its population.
