Policies should be made on the basis of caste census in the country, today the entire system is falling apart due to injustice in the country: Rahul Gandhi
Patna. Congress MP and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi addressed the Nyaya Yodha Congress workers meeting in Patna on Saturday. He said, Mohan Bhagwat says that India did not get independence on 15 August 1947. By saying such things they are rejecting the Constitution, because in their eyes 'freedom and constitution' have no meaning. That is why they are erasing the thinking of Ambedkar ji, Gandhi ji, Lord Buddha ji, Phule ji from every institution of India.

He further said, earlier Narendra Modi and people of BJP used to say that if we get more than 400 seats, we will change the Constitution. But… when we together explained the truth of the Constitution to Narendra Modi, he embraced the Constitution. The people of BJP wanted to abolish the Constitution, but the people of India said that if you do not respect it, we will throw you away.
With that said, I want to give you some statistics. You talked about representation, you said that there should be political representation, but in today's India, MLAs and MPs do not have any power. I meet MPs from backward class, Dalit class and tribal class of BJP in the Lok Sabha. They say we have no power. That means power is somewhere else, representation is somewhere else… This does not mean that representation should not be available, but I am saying that mere representation will not help. You take out the list of big companies of India. Take out the list of anchors in the media, take out the list of owners. You will not find the name of even a single backward, Dalit, tribal class person among the owners and management of these companies.
Rahul Gandhi further said, a few years ago I was wondering: Why doesn't the media talk about farmers, why doesn't it raise issues related to the country, why doesn't it talk about unemployment? Then when I took out the list, I came to know that none of their owners belonged to Dalit, backward or tribal class. I went to AIIMS at night some time ago. Hundreds of people are lying in the metro station. Some have cancer, some have heart disease and some have trouble breathing. There is neither food facility nor toilet facilities for them… and people cannot go to private hospitals.
He further said, you got political representation by fighting, but you did not get power anywhere. When these people came to know that backward classes and Dalits were taking representation, they took the power somewhere else by giving you representation. Do you know where the power went? That power went to Adani-Ambani and RSS. Also said, the true situation of the country will be known only through caste census. This will let everyone know what our population is and how much participation is there. Policies should be made in the country only on the basis of caste census. Today the entire system is disintegrating due to injustice in the country. People do not have employment, farmers do not get the right price, laborers do not get the right wages, because all the wealth of the country is going to a few people. Development cannot be talked about properly without caste census.
