Jairam Ramesh Accuses PM Of Sabotaging Caste Census

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh accused PM Modi of sabotaging the caste census, calling him a "U-Turn Ustaad." Ramesh questioned why a standardized caste drop-down menu promised in a 2021 affidavit was absent from the 2027 census form. He noted the government had rejected a caste census in 2021 before reversing its stance in 2025.
