Madhya Pradesh Congress Leaders Are In The Doldrums On Caste Census?

Congress president and senior leader of the party Rahul Gandhi became vocal advocatory of caste census source says. MP has a large number of OBCs and Adivasi and their support becomes the guarantee of power in the state a source says. Despite this, the leaders of the upper cast have a great influence on these voters source says. As per casual calculations, approximately 105 seats are under the influence of the leaders from the upper cast source says. Out of these 105 constituencies, 60 are under the influence of Brahmin leaders and 45 are controlled by Thakurs source says. MP Congress leaders are a little worried that this caste census is likely to affect the prospects of these upper cast leaders of these 105 constituencies source says. Probably, for this reason, only the BJP is not pressing for a caste census because the party is blindly supported by the upper caste a source says.
