Bihar CM Nitish Kumar led a cross-party delegation’s meeting with PM Narendra Modi on Monday to ask for a Caste-based census.
BJP leader Sushil Modi tweeted, “The BJP was never against caste-based census, we have also been part of resolutions passed in the legislative assembly and council in its support. The delegation that will meet PM Modi also includes a BJP representative.”
All parties in Bihar have called for a caste-based census, but for the BJP it is a politically sensitive subject.
Nitish Kumar on Sunday said, “Caste-based census would be not just for Bihar, people in the whole country will benefit from this.”
The BJP’s Janak Ram, opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav, Congress leader Ajit Sharma, former leader of congress and president of Hindustani Awam Morcha Jitan Ram Manjhi.
