Between the Deen on the Bengaluru stampede, Congress Order New Karnataka Caste Survey | Bharat News
New Delhi/Bangalore: The Congress on Tuesday decided to conduct a fresh caste survey in Karnataka, citing rumming about the census data of 2015 under the major communities of the state, and CM Siddaramaiah and his deputy DK Shivkumar were asked to target for 60 to 80-days for exercise.Sources said that the immediate encouragement to advance the practice for the Congress’s brass was something that would probably take the Siddaramaiah government away from the heat amidst a accountability crisis after the Bangalore stampede in which 11 cricket fans died.Also Read: Congress Top Brass Raps State Unit for Bengaluru Stamped“The party in principle with the state government agrees to address the concerns of some communities, which have reservation about caste data, which is a decade old and old. Therefore, the party suggested re -signing within a stipulated time, “AICC General Secretary KC Venugopal said.The decision effectively means that the 2015 report of the Kantharaj Commission went into a deep freeze, although Venugopal said that this would be “discussed” in a cabinet meeting for Thursday.Siddaramaiah said that the proposed marking will copy the ongoing survey of scheduled castes in the state and possibly complete within three months.The leaked data of the Kantharaj Commission report shows that Siddaramaiah’s core vote bank of Ahinda (brief name of Kannada for minorities, backward classes and Dalits) has increased rapidly than Lingayat and Vokaliga communities.Inner Congress sources suggested that the CM’s reluctance, if any, would be balanced with the possibility of a stampede backlash of “lost in new noise” to accept a fresh caste survey.Deputy CM Shivkumar said that this decision was to enable everyone to re-start information during household surveys and through online submissions. “Since this process will be a broad, we will decide the strategy in the next cabinet meeting. CM will then announce the timeline.”
