Revanth Reddy hails Union Cabinet’s decision to conduct caste census, credits Rahul Gandhi for it

Congress's Rahul Gandhi said today that the Centre's decision to club caste census with next year's population census is a welcome step though taken under pressure. He also laid down a broad roadmap to achieve social justice - outlining the next three steps which the Congress will push.

Calling the caste census a "new paradigm of development", he said, "It was our vision, we are glad they have adopted it".

His party, he said, now wishes to "go beyond" and see what is the "participation of 90 per cent people".
