Bengaluru: Caste census should be conducted once in 10 years as it helps to scientifically formulate social and economic programs and to provide reservation benefits to that eligible said CLP leader and former chief minister Siddaramaiah

Addressing presspersons Siddaramaiah said that even Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is demanding a caste census.

“It will be good if it is done once every 10 years on the lines of the general census. Our party will take up the matter during the legislative session,” he said.

The 10-day legislature session will start on September 13.

The Congress leader also noted that since all castes and sections of society are not getting equal opportunities, the Congress government had conducted the caste census.

Further responding to a question on JDS MLA G T Deve Gowda joining the Congress, Siddaramaiah said they had discussed the issue between themselves as well as with party state president D K Shivakumar.

“We will now take up the matter with the high command,” he added.
