Differing views on impact of caste survey findings in Karnataka
Bengaluru: Several leaders within the Congress raised a demand for the release of the report, following the footsteps of the Bihar government. As pressure builds on the Congress government in Karnataka to release a socio-economic survey report, commonly referred to as the ‘caste survey,’ party leaders and political observers are divided on the electoral implications of the findings of the report. After several leaders within the Congress party raised a demand for the release of the report, following the footsteps of the Bihar government, Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah, on October 3, said his government will take a decision on the matter after the state backward classes commission submits the report on the caste and socio-economic survey. The OBC vote bank is not united, whereas the dominant classes are much more united than the vote bank,” said a Congress MLA and former Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee office-bearer, requesting anonymity. Meanwhile, reacting to the caste survey report, former Karnataka chief minister and senior BJP leader Basavaraj Bommai on Wednesday said that his party was not against the caste survey.
