Caste census not done systematically, fresh survey should be done: Yediyurappa
Veteran BJP leader B S Yediyurappa on Sunday said state's Socio-Economic and Education Survey, popularly known as the "caste census," was not done systematically, and urged the Congress government in Karnataka to get a fresh survey done and present the facts before the people. Caste census not done systematically, fresh survey should be done: Yediyurappa Karnataka's two dominant communities -- Vokkaliags and Lingayats -- too have expressed disapproval about the survey, calling it unscientific, and have demanded that it be rejected and a fresh survey to be conducted. The then Siddaramaiah-led Congress government in 2015 had commissioned the social-economic and educational survey, popularly known as the "caste census", at an estimated cost of ₹170 crore in the state. With pressure mounting on his government, from a certain section, to make public the state's survey, following Bihar government releasing findings of its caste survey recently, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said that a decision will be taken once he receives the report.
