Congress Takes Swipe at PM Modi over Caste Census Decision with Two Videos

  • On April 30, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration declared that the upcoming population census will include caste data, marking the first occasion this information will be collected since India gained independence.
  • The announcement followed longstanding demands from opposition parties, including Congress, and state caste surveys led by Bihar, Telangana, and Karnataka.
  • At a May 25 NDA conclave in New Delhi, Modi emphasized the caste census as a measure to empower marginalized groups while asserting the NDA opposes caste politics.
  • Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh shared two older video clips of Modi criticizing caste census demands as divisive, accusing the prime minister of a "dramatic shift".
  • This reversal has sparked political debate over social justice motives and electoral strategy, highlighting continuing controversies around caste and development policies in India.
