Post the Congress Working Committee meeting, Rahul Gandhi said, “The Congress Working Committee (CWC) after a four-hour meeting has taken a historic decision and unanimously decided to support the idea of a caste census in the country. I think it is a very progressive and powerful step for the emancipation of the poor people in the country.” He further added, “There might be a few who have a slightly different position and that is fine. We are quite flexible and not fascist.” Rahul Gandhi also said that the Caste Census is like an ‘X-Ray’ which is needed for the new paradigm and development in country.
