Caste census, removing 50 per cent cap on reservations central to vision for country: Congress



“It is a historic, revolutionary moment — one that is a realisation of the Telangana Movement’s aspirations for the state and a fulfillment of one of the key ideals of Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar’s Constitution,” the Congress general secretary said.It is also, as Rahul Gandhi noted in Hyderabad earlier this week, a blueprint for the national caste survey that the INDIA coalition’s government will conduct, he said.”This census, and the lifting of the Supreme Court’s arbitrary ceiling of 50% on reservations for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes are central to Congress’ vision for the country,” Ramesh said.”We are committed to the idea of social, political and economic justice in India, as laid out in our Constitution and as envisioned by India’s founding fathers,” he asserted.Gandhi, who attended a meeting organised by Telangana Congress on the caste survey on November 5, had said he was fully committed to ensuring the caste survey in Telangana.
