Karnataka BJP Questions Caste Census Feasibility in 15 Days
Imagine the government wants to know the different groups of people (castes) in Karnataka.
The state government wants to quickly count everyone, but the BJP party is saying that the government's plan to do it in just 15 days is impossible.
The BJP also thinks the government might be wasting money and not being honest about why they're doing the count.
They believe it could be a way for the Chief Minister to gain political advantage and they think the public will not be happy with this.
The previous count cost a lot and was stopped, so they also question the current plan to start another one.
Karnataka BJP questions the feasibility of the Congress government's plan to complete a caste census in 15 days.
The BJP alleges that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is attempting to mislead backward communities.
B.Y. Vijayendra criticized Siddaramaiah for 'misusing' taxpayers' money and not supporting the national population census.
The Karnataka government plans to conduct a caste census starting September 22.
The earlier caste census report faced opposition from communities like Lingayat and Vokkaliga groups.
