New Delhi: Head of Bihar Minister Nitish Kumar, who recently met with his rival and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav for the problem of caste-based census, has been written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make the appointment to discuss the issue.
“My letter to PM has been sent.
After he gives an appointment, we will advance the problem”, said the minister’s head on Thursday.
Tejashwi and other opposition leaders, during their meeting with the minister’s chairman, had suggested that Kumar Nitish led the delegation of all parties to the Prime Minister for this issue.
The Chairperson of the Minister of Bihar has made a strong tone for the caste-based census even when the information center informed that the census will only be held for scheduled caste and scheduled tribes.
He felt that the caste-based census would help the formulation and implementation of a better scheme aimed at targeted well-being of various social groups.
Nitish has even hinted that he could continue with a caste-based census in the state if the center did not agree to exercise at the national level.
The Bihar Assembly unanimously passed the resolution on February 18, 2019 and again on February 27, 2020, looking for a wise population calculation.
The last time the caste-based headcount was taken in the country in 1931.
Nitish Kumar’s Bonhomie with the opposition to this issue will be closely monitored by the BJP alliance partner, which is a senior partner in his government.
Already, the head of the Bihar minister has created a kind of darkness by becoming the first party of the powerful alliance to demand an investigation into the Row Snooping Pegasus.
BJP, which is called the “non-problem” controversy, certainly will not be happy with the Nitish Kumar stand to advocate an investigation.
“No one has to have a problem with this.
If some people feel their privacy has been violated, what a better thing than having an apex court sees this problem”, said Nitish Kumar.
BIHAR BJP leaders refused to comment on Nitish Kumar’s comments about the richraw controversy.
