KTR writes letter to Rahul on errors, blunders in caste census

The Hindu  

BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao has dashed off a letter to Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, calling out the Congress government’s caste census as full of errors and incomplete. In a letter to Mr. Gandhi, a copy of which was released to the media on Wednesday, Mr. Rama Rao termed the government’s report as dishonest efforts and wondered how the senior Congress leader could present half-baked report in the Parliament. He maintained that the data from the Samagra Kutumbha Survey done by BRS in 2014 showed BC population in the State as 1.85 crore, which came to 51 per cent of the population and if the BCs among the minority community were also included, it rose to 61 percent. He ridiculed the Congress government’s commitment for 42 per cent reservation for the BCs in the local bodies polls and demanded an honest answer from the top Congress leaders on the Kamareddy BC declaration by the party ahead of 2023 Assembly elections.
