New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to fulfil the nation’s demand for a caste census immediately otherwise he would see the next PM do it.

No power can stop a nationwide caste census, the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha said on X in Hindi, tagging a post by the Congress on a “mood of the nation poll” by a media group which said 74 per cent people in August said a caste census must be conducted, up from the 59 per cent in February this year.

“Modi ji, if you are thinking of stopping the caste census, you are dreaming – no power can stop it now! India’s order has arrived – soon 90 per cent Indians will support and demand caste census,” Gandhi said on X.

“Implement the order now, or you will see the next Prime Minister do this,” the Congress leader said.

His remarks came a day after he pressed the demand for a nationwide “caste census” and said 90 per cent people of the country are sitting out of the system and the step should be taken in their interest.

He had also said for the Congress, the “caste census” is the foundation and a tool for policy making.
