The Congress on Sunday (April 12, 2026) alleged that the government wants to put the caste census in “cold storage” and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to amend the Women’s Reservation Act with an agenda to “mislead the country”.
Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said the Modi government wants to amend Article 334-A on the basis that “caste census results will be available for several years”, overlooking the fact that both Bihar and Telangana completed a comprehensive caste survey in less than six months.
