OBC panel submits caste census report finally
The long-pending final report of the Socio-economic and Educational Survey of Karnataka was submitted to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah here on Thursday. In the run-up to the Assembly elections, the Congress had promised to accept the caste census report and Mr. Siddaramaiah had also on multiple occasions reiterated it. Opposition to survey Conducted in 2015 by the Kantharaj Commission during the earlier tenure of Mr. Siddaramaiah, the caste census had become a politically sensitive issue with dominant land-owning Vokkaligas and Veerashaiva-Lingayat communities expressing doubts about the data collected and had opposed the census itself. Our report was ready but not accepted.” Poser to CM Meanwhile, former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai asked Mr. Siddaramaiah to clarify whether the caste census report was that of Mr. Hegde or Mr. Kantharaj. Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru on Thursday, the BJP leader said the terms of reference of the Kantharaj commission did not include the caste census report.
