Will X-ray country through caste census to ensure equality: Rahul Gandhi
The Congress leader also took a jibe at PM Narendra Modi-led BJP that they been 'counting notes' they got from the 'tempo wale billionaires' for the last 10 years
Reacting to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks on the Congress receiving cash loaded in tempos from industrialists Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday (May 12) targeted Modi, saying while the BJP has been “counting the notes" it got from "tempo wale billionaires", his party will conduct a caste census to ensure equality.
In a post written in Hindi on X, Gandhi said, “They have been 'counting notes' they got from 'tempo wale billionaires' for the last 10 years. We will X-ray the country through 'caste census' and ensure equitable share for every section."
He also shared a party advertisement which takes on the government over the caste census issue. Rahul Gandhi and other Congress leaders have said the PM Modi should order a CBI or ED probe into whether Adani and Ambani had sent them black money.
The Congress has also asked the prime minister to share his views on a socio-economic census.
The party in its manifesto has promised to conduct a nation-wide socio-economic and caste census to enumerate the castes and sub-castes and their socio-economic conditions.
