Get community survey done by dedicated commission with experts, BRS urges govt.

The Hindu  

HYDERABAD The Bharat Rashtra Samithi has demanded that the State government get the re-survey of the community census conducted by constituting a Dedicated Commission with experts in carrying out such tasks, since the government has already admitted its failure and is taking up the survey again. Vivekanand said the Congress government had insulted about 2 crore people of the backward classes with the faulty caste census taken up with ₹200 crore, without caring for suggestions of the experts. The BRS MLA stated that several community surveys were conducted across the country but only the one conducted by the Revanth Reddy government had turned out to be a failure. Alleging that the government had convened the Assembly session only for a day purely for political mileage, Mr. Vivekanand observed that AICC leader Rahul Gandhi avoided even a brief visit to Telangana the other day fearing that he would have to face discontent of the people, particularly BCs, following the community survey report.
