Caste census won’t divide people: Munde

Supporting caste census,senior BJP leader Gopinath Munde said it would not divide people.

Supporting caste census,senior BJP leader Gopinath Munde said it would not divide people but help estimate actual population of OBCs in the country and highlight plight of the poor.

“Caste census will not divide the people but give justice to the poor people and also help estimate the real population of the OBCs,” Munde,who demanded caste census in Lok Sabha,said.

“Such an exercise was undertaken last in 1931 and after that,there has been no statistical support verify the estimated 52 per cent OBC population,” Munde said.

In 2007,when the Supreme Court asked for government’s view on population of OBCs during the 27 per cent reservation in IITs,the government admitted it did not have authentic figures in absence of OBC census,Munde said.
