Caste Census Commitment: Rahul Gandhi’s Pledge to OBC Community

Rahul Gandhi, speaking at the ‘Bhagidari Nyay Sammelan’ dedicated to OBCs in Delhi, acknowledged a past mistake related to the community’s welfare. He admitted that the UPA government’s failure to conduct a caste census was an error, now vowing to rectify the situation. He reflected on his past work and noted a stronger understanding of issues affecting Dalits, tribals, and women, but recognized a gap in addressing OBC concerns. Gandhi emphasized his commitment to a caste-based census, framing it as the initial step in ensuring the OBC community’s work receives due recognition and equitable involvement across India. He highlighted the need to address the underrepresentation of marginalized groups in critical national processes.
