My mistake we couldn’t get caste census done earlier; correcting that now: Rahul Gandhi

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday acknowledged that it was his “mistake” and not that of the party that they could not get a caste census conducted earlier, saying he is correcting that now.

Gandhi further said he committed a “mistake” in his political career of 21 years, which is not protecting the interests of the Other Backward Classes (OBC) section as much as he should have done.

Addressing a ‘Bhagidari Nyay Sammelan’ of OBCs at the Talkatora Stadium here, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said the caste census in Telangana is a “political earthquake” that will cause a huge “aftershock” in the country. PTI
