New Delhi, Nov 26 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi fears a "caste census" because he is afraid then everyone will start demanding their share, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said on Tuesday Kharge made the remarks at the party's Constitution Day event at Talkatora Stadium here.

"If you really want unity in the country, you should stop spreading hate," he said, referring to the BJP which rules the Centre.
