Caste Census News: After the decision to conduct caste census across the country through the central government, the politics of Bihar is in full swing. After all the attacks of the opposition and the ruling party, now the Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Legislative Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, has written a letter to PM Narendra Modi, in which Tejashwi Yadav has put his views on caste census and some new demands in front of PM Modi.

Tejashwi Yadav wrote in his letter, “After the recent announcement of your government of caste census across the country, I have been writing you today with a sense of cautious optimism. For years, your government and NDA alliance rejected the demand for caste census as divisive and unnecessary, when Bihar initiated to conduct caste surveys with its resources, the central government and its top law officials have been hurriedly hurriedly. Questioned the need for such data collection. Many types of slut and indecent comments were made.

My Letter to PM Sh. @narendramodi Ji.

The decision to conduct the caste census can be a transformative moment in our nation’s journey towards equality. The Millions who have struggled for this census await not just data but Dignity, not just just enumeration but Empowerment.… pic.twitter.com/t2usznfjoh

– Tejashwi Yadav (@YADAVTEJASHWI) May 3, 2025

Further written that your delayed decision accepts the prevalence of the demands of those citizens who have been marginalized for a long time. The caste survey of Bihar, which revealed that OBCs and EBCs having about 63% of our state’s population, broke many myths spread to maintain the status quo. A similar pattern is likely to emerge across the country. I am sure that the disadvantaged communities will create less representation in every life, despite being most of our population, a democratic awakening will create.

He also said that caste census is just the first step of a long journey of social justice. The goal of increasing the scope of social security and reservation according to the population from the census data should also be an integral part of this process. As a country, we also have an important opportunity to fix many types of injustice in upcoming delimitation. The renovation of the constituencies should be sensitive to the census data.

Special provisions should be made for adequate political representation in institutions deciding OBC and EBC. These deprived groups will have to be included on the basis of the principle of proportional representation in the state assemblies and the Parliament of India. Our Constitution ordered the state to reduce economic inequalities and ensure equitable distribution of resources through its director principles. When we know how many of our citizens belong to the deprived groups and what their economic status is, then the intervention with more accuracy should be prepared.

Private sector, which has been a major beneficiary of public resources, cannot be separated from the needs of social justice. Companies have been getting adequate benefits, land at concessional rates, power subsidy, tax exemption, basic facilities, and various types of financial incentives. Its burden raises the shoulder of the taxpayer. In turn, it is completely appropriate to expect the private industry sector to reflect the social structure of our country. In the context of caste census, there should be open talks about inclusion and diversity in the private sector.

Prime Minister, your government is now standing at a historic intersection. The decision to conduct caste census can be a transformational moment in the journey of equality of our country. Our ancestors have struggled for the collection of these figures for many decades. Therefore, there should not be a delay in implementing this decision.

A dagger question is also whether data will be used as a catalyst for systemic reforms, or will it be limited to dusty archives like many previous commission reports? As the representative of Bihar, where the caste survey has opened eyes towards the ground reality, I assure you of creative cooperation in making social changes. Millions of people struggling for this census are waiting for not only data but also respect, not only calculations but empowerment.

Caste census in bihar: A separate picture came out from the political corridor of Bihar on Friday (May 02, 2025). A joint press conference was organized by the NDA at the Circuit House in Vaishali, but no one arrived from Chirag Paswan’s party (LJP Ram Vilas). Neither an MP reached nor a district level leader reached. NDA leaders are not considering it a big issue but RJD has claimed that Chirag Paswan is going to separate.

Chirag’s picture was put in the banner of press conference

JDU national spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan Prasad addressed this press conference held at the Circuit House in Vaishali. He referred to the decision of the Central Government related to the ethnic census. There was no concrete information about why no leader was involved with LJP Ram Vilas in this joint press conference. However, a picture of Chirag Paswan was definitely put on the banner of the press conference.

Chirag’s party separated from NDA and did PC

A separate PC was later performed in the circuit house on behalf of Chirag Paswan’s party. Mukesh Paswan, the state general secretary of LJP Ram Vilas, who held the press conference, told about the benefit of ethnic census. Said that Ram Vilas Paswan had also demanded this for a long time. Chirag Paswan also used to demand caste census where he used to hold gathering. Now approval has been received from the Modi cabinet. For this, he thanked PM Modi and Chirag Paswan.

What did NDA not say if they are not involved in PC?

Why did he separate from the NDA and do PC on the ethnic census? Mukesh Paswan did not give any concrete reason on this. Said, “We are holding a press conference on behalf of our party, but wish all the leaders of the coalition. It is a separate press conference from our party. A press conference has been held on the orders of the state president and district president.”

On this entire issue, JDU national spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan Prasad said that today Chirag Paswan’s party is not here, then it may be that there will be somewhere in Muzaffarpur. Maybe today they will have some other issue. At the same time, senior JDU leader and Energy Minister of Bihar Government Vijendra Yadav said that everyone has a matter of their respective party. The decision has been taken by the NDA.

What did RJD say?

This entire episode has been tightened by RJD. RJD MLA Mukesh Roshan said that it is clear that Chirag Paswan is running on Ekla Chalo’s policy and is separating from the NDA alliance. They are engaged in the separation process. If the assembly elections are coming closer, then the Chief Minister’s candidates are becoming. Nitish Kumar and Narendra Modi are showing their eyes, so they did not join the NDA PC.

Tejashwi Yadav News: The central government has announced to conduct caste census. Politics is also happening since the announcement. An announcement has been made at a time when assembly elections are to be held in Bihar. What is the benefit of this in the election is later, but Tejashwi Yadav has once again attacked the BJP and the central government. On Friday (May 02, 2025), he posted on X and wrote, “The caste census is beginning, the picture is still left.”

‘How many hollow people are these’

Assembly elections are to be held in Bihar this year (2025) and in view of this, Tejashwi Yadav also posted his masterplan of reservation by posting on X. Tejashwi Yadav wrote on X, “Anti -equivalent narrow and negative Sanghis/BJP will also abuse us on this, but later shameless will call our agenda as our master stroke. How many hollow people are there?”

Tejashwi Yadav walked these bets

• Backward/Backward constituency
• Reservation in private sector
• Reservation in contract
• Reservation in judiciary
• Will implement the remaining recommendations of Mandal Commission
• Will give reservation in proportion to population
• Special state status for Bihar
• Special package for Bihar

Let us know that the opposition is taking credit on the issue of ethnic census. Although assembly elections are to be held in Bihar, in that case the central government has taken away a big issue like caste census from the opposition. On the other hand, before the Bihar assembly elections, the opposition is also questioning the timing regarding the announcement of caste census. Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah has said here that, “The haste in which the BJP -led central government decided on the caste census on Wednesday, I was convinced that it has been made in view of Bihar assembly elections.”

Varanasi News: After the decision of the central government on 30 April evening, the round of discussions is fast after the decision that made caste census across the country. While the leaders of the India alliance are calling it their victory, the Bharatiya Janata Party and their allies have described this decision as the most important and historical decision after independence.

By the way, the role of the Sangh in every major decision of the Bharatiya Janata Party also remains at the center of discussion. Why should there be discussions, when the caste census was announced by the Modi government, Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat was bringing all the castes on the same platform and giving the message of unity through mass marriage program.

Mass marriage program in the presence of Mohan Bhagwat

On April 30, no one had guessed that a big decision will be taken by the central government regarding the caste census. While on the one hand, on the one hand, the Central Government announced the caste census in the country as soon as the evening of April 30, while the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat arrived in Varanasi to attend the mass marriage program.

During this time, he married 125 such couples who came from different castes. Although it is a coincidence that while on the one hand the central government made its intentions clear about the ethnic census, on the other hand, the Sangh chiefs in Varanasi, the parliamentary constituency of Prime Minister Modi, were giving a message to all castes to be tied in one thread. This also remained a surprising picture because earlier there was no mass marriage program of different castes on the same platform in Varanasi district.

Validity

A collective marriage program of 125 couples was organized near Sankul Dhara Kund of Varanasi, in which people of different castes were sitting together and tied in marital bonds under Sanatan tradition. Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat himself joined it and got married to the bride and groom. Now the discussion and speculation about this is that on one hand, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh Varanasi has been trying to bring all the castes on the same platform, on the other hand the decision of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s ethnic publicity has given momentum to a new discussion.

BJP press conference on caste census: The central government of BJP has decided to get caste census across the country. This decision has been taken under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. On this occasion, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan held a press conference. He said that this decision has not been taken suddenly, work has been going on for the last 11 years. Our aim is to benefit every section of the society. Social justice has always been the center of our policy and hence the OBC commission was given constitutional status.

On the BJP’s press conference, Dharmendra Pradhan insisted that this is the first time after India’s independence, when the central government has given in -principle approval to the caste census. This decision reflects the commitment of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who are constantly trying to get their rights to the underprivileged. It was informed by the Home Minister about a year ago.

Nehru was opposed to ethnic reservation- Dharmendra Pradhan
Dharmendra Pradhan took a dig at the opposition and said that Nehru ji was opposed to ethnic reservation. For this, he also wrote a letter to the states. The BJP was part of the government at the time of implementation of Mandal Commission. The Congress did the work to stop this. Everyone knows what was Rajiv Gandhi’s attitude regarding Mandal Commission.

A scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi
On the question of abolishing the limit of 50% reservation, Dharmendra Pradhan rejected Rahul Gandhi’s response to the ethnic census. He said that Rahul Gandhi’s words should not be taken seriously. They do not even know the difference between survey and census. He further said that by reading the letters and statements of Nehru and Rajiv Gandhi, the Congress should apologize to the country.

Digital India pointed
Dharmendra Pradhan called the caste census a political ATM for some parties and said that Modi ji has closed this ATM by bringing a digital payment system. Bihar was also mentioned during the press conference. Dharmendra Pradhan told that when the caste survey was conducted in Bihar, the BJP supported it. He also referred to Karpoori Thakur and said that Jana Sangh also supported him.

Caste census in bihar: After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the entire country is eyeing the central government as to what action is taken against Pakistan. What action is taken? Meanwhile, the opposition is raising questions about the timing of the central government’s caste census. JDU’s response has come to all this. Speaking to ABP News on Thursday (May 01, 2025), JDU’s national chief spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan said that the opposition should not question the timing.

Rajiv Ranjan said that after the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan is being given a befitting reply. He also said that the decision to conduct ethnic census should not be seen even by linking with Bihar elections. In Bihar, Nitish Kumar has conducted caste survey by himself.

‘Bihar’s decision was adopted at the country’s level’

On the other hand, JDU leader Rajiv Ranjan said that in Bihar, Nitish Kumar himself conducted a caste survey, due to which the land of caste census was prepared across the country. The decision of Bihar has been adopted at the country’s level. Nitish has always been active on the issue of ethnic census. Nitish demanded this in his speech in Parliament in 1994. As CM Nitish worked for empowerment of all classes.

PM Modi gave a befitting reply to opposition: Rajiv

Rajiv Ranjan said that PM Modi has given a befitting reply to the opposition by deciding to conduct caste census across the country. When the opposition remained in power, the caste census was not done. There was politics only in his name.

Let us know that the decision to get caste calculations is being considered a big bet from the perspective of Bihar elections. The grand alliance was preparing to make it the biggest issue in Bihar elections.

Caste census in bihar: After the decision to conduct caste census in the country, politics has also intensified. Opposition parties are engaged in taking credit on this decision of the central government. In Patna, late Wednesday (April 30, 2025), Tejashwi Yadav and RJD leaders celebrated by burning crackers. This has been attacked by JDU leader and spokesperson Neeraj Kumar. On Thursday (May 01, 2025), he posted his video statement on X.

Neeraj Kumar said, “Tejashwi Yadav on caste census wants to prove himself to be a knife-creature of politics. The truth is that you were born in 1989, land was written in Phulwaria in the name of your surname Tarun Yadav. In 1994, Nitish Kumar became the voice of caste census in the house. A visionary leader was revealing his social thinking. Your father was arranging land for you despite being a minor. ”

Everyone will open: Neeraj Kumar

The JDU leader said that if the caste survey was not in Bihar, then how would it be known that in the name of your family (Tejashwi Yadav), there is 43 bigha 12 kattos and 16 alert land in Patna? When the caste census is in the country, then where you have invested black money in politics, everyone will open.

Maa @YADAVTEJASHWIYes, you want to take credit for caste census by becoming a churchhuri cracker of politics.
In 1994 @Nitishkumar There was a voice of caste census in the House, then the land was being written in your name. Those who climb the ladder of power on the land of Dalit-backwards-are you ready for property survey? pic.twitter.com/pexy2qgfx3

– Neeraj Kumar (@neerajkumarmlc) May 1, 2025

Taking a dig at Tejashwi Yadav, Neeraj Kumar further said that it is better to accept the truth than the dismantling of politics, that Nitish Kumar has the moral force that caste census is happening inside the country today due to his argument. Narendra Modi’s government and the NDA government also decided to survey caste in Bihar and decided to census caste census at the center, so your claim turned out to be fake.

Challenging Tejashwi, Neeraj Kumar said that open the tongue about the property collection in politics. You have written the land of Dalits, backward and minorities in the name of your job and you want to take credit for caste census in politics.

Eknath shinde on caste survey: The Central Government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has decided for caste census. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav gave this information. A column of caste will also be kept in the census form itself. The reaction of Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde has now come to this decision. Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde says that this decision of the Modi government is historic.

Eknath Shinde said, “This news came out on the eve of Maharashtra Day. If seen in a way, it can be called the gift of social justice from the Modi government to the country.”

‘Congress cannot bear the condition of Congress’- Eknath Shinde
At the same time, while targeting the Congress, Eknath Shinde said, “The condition of the Congress, which talks about ‘Save the Constitution’, has become ‘and can not even say’. This party, which has only demanded a showy demand for caste -based census, has never taken any concrete decision on it, but due to its votebank politics, it never gave such a census.”

‘PM Modi has never back down from taking historical decisions’- Eknath Shinde
At the same time, when a copy of the Constitution is taken on Rahul Gandhi and other Congress leaders, Eknath Shinde said, “It is easy to raise slogans of ‘Save the Constitution’ with an empty red diary in hand, but taking strict decisions is not the case for everyone. Modi has never made back from taking such decisions, and this is the latest proof of it. India will appear to be the first proof.

‘Milk milk and water will become water’- Eknath Shinde
Eknath Shinde said, “The caste -based census will have ‘milk, water of water’ and it will be clear from which threads the foundation of this country is woven. There is a need to take such decisions, but Modi has taken consultant steps for social justice regardless of elections, votes etc.”

He further said, “After Article 370, Nari Shakti Vandan, Waqf Board Reform Act, a decision of caste census has now been decided. On behalf of Shiv Sena, we heartily greeted the Modi government, express their gratitude and fully support this decision.”

The reaction of Union Minister Ramdas Athawale has come to light on the decision of the caste census of the Narendra Modi government at the Center. In social media posts, he wrote that for several decades, plans, estimates and old beliefs for public service were based. With an authentic count of caste, policy makers will get an accurate social map of the country. This will ensure that development and prosperity reaches where it is really needed. This is not caste politics, it is a basic foundation for good governance.

‘Policy transformation will be ensured not polarization’

In his post, he said, “The previous governments misused their personal selfishness and their power to save their power. For how many years, poisoning and appeasement of polarization and appeasement mixed the poison of separation in the society. But Prime Minister Modi’s government has decided to social calculation, it will ensure that policy transformation will be ensured. It will ensure policy transformation. It is a decision based on the accountable and fairness. There is an important step towards doing. “

• The previous governments misused sensations related to caste to save their personal selfishness and their power, for how many years they added poison to the society with polarization and appeasement. But Prime Minister Modi’s government has decided to social calculation, not polaristaion…

– Dr.ramdas athawale (@ramdasathawale) April 30, 2025

‘Now the data will work’

Along with this, Athawale wrote, “The government has approved the sure census and made it clear that it will not only become an election issue, but will be the basis of policy making. Till now there were speeches on caste, now the data will be done. No, social justice is the foundation. “

Targeting Congress

Targeting the Congress, he said, “The Congress governments have opposed caste census till date. Castes were not counted in all the census after independence. In the year 2010, the then Prime Minister late Dr. Manmohan Singh ji assured in the Lok Sabha that caste census will be considered in the cabinet. Subsequently, a cabinet group was also set up, in which more numbering political parties were constituted, caste -based census was set up. Despite this, the Congress government thought it is appropriate to conduct a survey instead of caste census, which is known as SECC.

‘The progress of the country will also continue to be uninterrupted’

Ramdas Athawale further said, “The theme of the census is inscribed on the serial number 69 of the Central List of Article 246 of the Constitution and it is the subject of the Center. However, many states have census castes through survey. While in some states this work has been done smoothly, some other states have surveyed in a political point of view and non -perfect manner. Keeping in and ensuring that our social fabric does not come under the pressure of politics, the calculation of castes should be included in the original census instead of a survey.

‘Current government committed to the interests of society’

The Union Minister also said, “Today, on the day of 30.04.2025, the cabinet committee of political subjects led by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has decided that the census of castes should be included in the upcoming census. It shows that the present government is committed to the universal interests and values ​​of the country and society.”

Babasaheb Ambedkar mentioned

He posted the statement of Babasaheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, “The equal opportunity will remain incomplete until the actual structure of the society is understood through data.”
