Deputy CM DK Shivakumar clarified that he does not oppose the caste census but supports a scientific socio-economic survey. He emphasized the importance of a methodical approach and stated that every community, including minorities and SC/STs, claims rights and seeks grants based on their population. Shivakumar, as the Karnataka state Congress president and OBC leader, is committed to considering the interests of all communities. He questioned the scientific rationale behind the census and stood with the concept of social justice, which is the backbone of Congress.https://ift.tt/qBXaPwj
