Talking to the media after the meeting, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that Rajasthan government will also conduct caste based census like Bihar.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that Rahul Gandhi ji is repeatedly saying that participation should be as per the population…we will take this concept forward. Therefore, we have decided that keeping in mind the party’s decision, the Rajasthan government should announce this campaign. The intentions of our party should be brought forward. He said that there are diverse castes in the country. People of different religions live there. Castes do different things. If we know how much population each caste has, then we will know what plans we have to make for them. It will be easier for us to plan according to caste.
