The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the ruling BJP's ideological mentor, on Thursday offered conditional support to the conduct of a national caste census - which will be a key issue in the build-up to next year's general election.
Amid Oppn's caste census pitch, Sangh workers are fanning out to villages to create awareness against caste discrimination and untouchability in a bid to foster 'Hindu oneness'
Sources said at recent meeting, BJP OBC leaders were told to assess the impact of the Oppn campaign's and the demand for a caste count at the state level
A day after releasing data from a controversial caste-based survey in the state, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has called for an all-party meeting today to present the findings of the census report and deliberate on the next course of action.
