Will hold RSS & BJP by ear, make them do sit-ups, get caste census done: Lalu Yadav – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Rashtriya Janata Dal supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav pressed upon the demand for a nation-wide caste survey saying that the Centre has no authority to not conduct caste based census.
Taking on the ruling BJP and its ideological mentor RSS, Yadav said, “We will hold the ears of these RSS/BJP guys, make them do sit-ups and get the caste census done.”
“We will force them so much that they will have to do caste census.The time has come for the Dalits, backward, tribals and poor to show unity,” he added.

This comes a day after the RSS said that the caste census was a “very sensitive issue” for the Hindu society adding that it was an important issue for “national unity and integrity.”
“So, as RSS thinks, yes, definitely for all welfare activities, addressing to the particular community or caste which is lagging behind and so special attention is needed to some communities and caste. So, for that the government needs the numbers. It is very well practiced. So, the government needs numbers, it takes. Earlier also it has taken. So, it can take it. No problem,” Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh of RSS Sunil Ambekar said.
“But it should be only to address the welfare of the those communities and caste. It should not be used as a political tool for electioneering. And so we put with a caution line for everyone,” he added.
