Shivraj Singh Chauhan gave opinion on caste census.
There is an atmosphere of anger over the terrorist attack in Pahalgam at this time in India. Discussion is going on about how the government will respond to terrorists and its boss Pakistan. At the same time, in the meantime, the Modi government of the Center has decided to conduct caste census across the country. Let us know that assembly elections are to be held in Bihar at the end of this Lal. In such a situation, the decision of caste census is being considered as a big step of the Modi government. All these issues have now been given a statement by Union Agriculture Minister and veteran BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chauhan.
The BJP says this is masterstroke, some people say you brought out the genie of caste reservation?
Shivraj- Any decision for us is neither a masterstroke nor a vote. All decisions are made in the interest of the country and keeping in mind the social and economic interests of all sections of the society. Economic empowerment should be for everyone. This decision of caste census will be the basis of good governance. It will be the foundation of social justice.
Is the timing for political gains to do caste census at the time of Bihar elections?
Shivraj- Opposition is also jumping and crying to take credit for Indie alliance. He should tell that for how many years his party ruled the Leader of Opposition. Why did Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of the country not census caste. Nehru ji had written a letter and expressed disagreement with caste reservation. He is in records written to the Chief Minister. What Indira ji did, what Rajiv ji did on this issue. Sonia Gandhi, who came again in power, was a super power in a way. Why was the late leader Manmohan Singh Ji Prime Minister, then why did not the caste census be done. The demand was raised in the Parliament, a committee was formed by ministers, GOM was made. Only surveys were left. His figures did not come out. It does not do when Congress is in power. When in opposition, it demands. Elephant teeth to eat and show more.
You mention the Mandal Commission and Kaka Kalekar Committee, when it was rejected by Home Minister Buta Singh
Shivraj- rejected, rejected by the then Home Minister. If someone else has committed the crime of not giving justice to backward classes, then the Congress has committed it.
Rahul Gandhi says what is the timeline, when caste reservation will start?
Shivraj- No one will ask them and decide a little timeline. When the caste census takes place, the timeline will be revealed. Will be in a scientific way. Rahul Gandhi does not know why we have not done immediately in the press conference, but we have been talking about taking credit and talking about the way that there has been a survey in Telangana, I have advised. First he should understand the constitution with a good teacher
How will you go beyond the 50 percent limit of reservation?
Shivraj- Currently caste census will be done, exact figures will help in making the schemes with certainty.
The leaders of your party used to say that the caste census means that it is a matter of breaking the country, it was a matter of knowledge that poor young tribal women power?
Shivraj- Some states started this calculation or survey. Confusion conditions were being created in many places. In some states, there were many things and dissatisfaction due to this. Therefore it was necessary because the subject of census is the subject of the center. Therefore, in a scientific way, caste census will be held in the country keeping in mind the economic and economic interests of the society in a completely transparent manner.
In the case of Pahalgam, the country is waiting for what kind of work are they going to see?
Shivraj- I have nothing to say except what the Prime Minister said.
