The Karnataka government has delayed its decision on accepting the controversial caste census report by a month. This comes amidst divisions within the ruling Congress party and opposition from dominant communities, including Deputy CM DK Shivakumar. The key document of the survey has gone missing, but the data is still intact. The tenures of the chairperson and members of the Karnataka Backward Classes Commission have been extended until the report is submitted. The report may not be released until the Lok Sabha elections next year as the government is considering referring it to a cabinet sub-committee.
