The CWC decision comes days after Bihar released the caste census survey report. The Congress is a member of the ‘INDIA’ bloc and the ruling coalition in Bihar.
Rahul Gandhi on Monday announced that the Congress Working Committee, the party’s apex decision making body, had “decided unanimously to support caste census in the country”.
“The CWC has decided unanimously to support caste census in the country. It is a powerful progressive step for the emancipation of the poor in the country”, the Congress MP said in a briefing after the meeting.
Gandhi launched an all out attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the caste census. “The PM is incapable of doing the caste census. Our 3 out of 4 CMs are from the OBC category. Out of 10 BJP CMs, only one CM is from the OBC category. How many BJP CMs are from the OBC category? The PM doesn’t work for the OBCs but to distract them from main issues”, he said.
The Congress leader’s remark comes on a day the Election Commission announced the dates for assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Telangana and Mizoram.
The CWC’s resolution on supporting caste census comes days after the Bihar government, of which Congress is a part of, released the caste census survey report. The survey revealed that the extremely backward classes (EBC) comprise 36.01% of the population, the backward classes 27.12% and the general category 15.52% of the covered population.
Congress-ruled Rajasthan has also issued an order to conduct caste survey in the state.
“A new chapter in social justice. The Union government, which is against the deprived, has been evading caste census in the country. This has resulted in social justice facing obstacles. Therefore, the state government has decided to conduct caste survey through its resources for ensuring benefits to all the needy in Rajasthan”, chief minister Ashok Gehlot posted on social media platform X.
“On the basis of the results, we will formulate schemes for the needs of various sections of the society”, he added.
The state department of planning (Economic and Statistics) has been made the nodal department for the work. However, the order does not provide a time frame for the conduct of the population count.
Sharing a copy of the order for caste survey on its official ‘X’ account, the ruling party said, “The Congress government of Rajasthan will conduct a caste-based survey. Congress is working on its resolution of ‘whoever participates, so does his participation’.”

March 11, 2024The Supreme Court is set to hear two key applications in the electoral bond case today: the first by SBI seeking more time to disclose donor details, and the second a contempt petition filed against the lender’s plea.
The Supreme Court is hearing an application from the State Bank of India (SBI) on Monday, March 11, regarding the extension of the deadline for disclosing electoral bond donor details to the Election Commission of India (EC). SBI has requested an extension till June 30.
A five-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud and also comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna, BR Gavai, JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, would hear the plea.
‘Dark Parle-G’ memes are going viral on social media. However, there is no information regarding ‘Dark Parle-G’ on the social media accounts of Parle Products and neither has the company reacted to the viral picture of the biscuit packet.
Amid the grand Ambani bash over the weekend, and Instagram and Facebook facing a global outage on March 5, social media users kept themselves busy over a picture of Parle-G biscuits. Make no mistake, because this isn’t the original packet that has sent the internet into overdrive, but a viral picture of ‘Dark Parle-G’ biscuits.
To begin with, this packet of ‘Dark Parle-G’, in all probability, could be AI-generated because Parle has not confirmed the authenticity of the product. There is no information regarding ‘Dark Parle-G’ on the social media accounts of Parle Products and neither has the company reacted to the viral picture.

Actor Shah Rukh Khan disrespected top Telugu star Ram Charan with his ‘idli vada’ remark at the Ambanis’ bash in Jamnagar, the latter’s makeup artist has alleged. Zeba Hassan added that she walked out of the event after, sharing a video from the evening on Instagram to support her charge. Several users on social media, though, said that Shah Rukh’s remarks on stage were similar to his dialogues from one of his earlier films, ‘One 2 Ka 4’, adding that it was all in jest.
