After winning the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections, Congress President Kharge said he would conduct a caste census.

When the forthcoming Assembly elections are over, according to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, his party would undertake a caste census in Madhya Pradesh.

On Tuesday, Kharge addressed at a public gathering in Sagar about the improvements that would be made if the Assembly election results favored the Congress party.

Sant Ravidas was a revered figure for Scheduled Castes, and Mallikarjun Kharge recalled that Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the cornerstone for a memorial/temple to him worth Rs 100 crore. Kharge added, “They laid the foundation of Saint Ravidas temple in Sagar but demolished his in Delhi.”

He said that Prime Minister Modi only thought about Saint Ravidas during elections.

According to PTI, the 2011 Census showed that there were 1.13 crore Dalits living in MP.

Six Assembly seats in Bundelkhand are set aside for SCs; the BJP won five of these in the 2018 state elections, including Bina, Naryoli, Jatara, Chandala, and Hatta, while the Congress was able to get Gunnor, according to a PTI report.

Sagar, Chattarpur, Tikamgarh, Nimari, Damoh, and Panna districts make up Bundelkhand, which has 26 Assembly seats. In the most recent state elections, the BJP won 15 of those seats, the Congress received nine, and the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Parties each won one.

In his remarks, Kharge reminded the audience that the Bundelkhand package approved on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s proposal has not been executed by the current Bharatiya Janata Party administration.

Kharge also voiced his dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not acting appropriately to restore peace to Manipur, which has been ripped apart by conflict.

since said by Kharge, “Some people are trying to change the Constitution, but that cannot happen as 140 crore people are there to protect it.”

At the end of the year, assembly elections are anticipated in the state that the BJP now controls.
