Senior party leaders decided: Karnataka CM on fresh caste census

Karnataka will hold a fresh caste survey to address concerns flagged by several stakeholders. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday said that the decision to re-enumerate the caste census data was taken by the party high command and was not the decision of the state government. Speaking to reporters at Chikkaballapur, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said, "Some complaints have been received regarding the caste census. It has been 10 years since the survey was conducted, and it is old. In this context, party leaders have suggested that the census be conducted again in a short time. We will not reject the report. The report has been accepted in principle.
Deputy chief minister D K Shivakumar said the caste census would be redone to allay doubts of various communities over the sanctity of data, and that the government has plans to finalise the resurvey of the caste census in the next Cabinet meet.He said that the Karnataka government is committed to social justice.The Deputy Chief Minister said that the state government has been conducting a survey of SC/ST communities to collect data on sub-castes for the last two months."AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, AICC General Secretaries K C Venugopal and Randeep Singh Surjewala discussed with the CM and me various aspects including party organisation, state politics and the stampede incident," Shivakumar said.

The decision comes ahead of the state Cabinet meeting on June 12, which will discuss the contentious social and educational survey (caste census) report, which was released in April. Though the report has been discussed in as many as three Cabinet meetings, the state government failed to reach any consensus.
