Patna: Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday said that he will convene an all-party meeting regarding caste census in the state only after getting the opinion of his colleague. BJP,
“We held talks with political parties. I have asked the Deputy CM to talk to the leaders of his party (BJP). I have spoken to leaders of other political parties. After he (Deputy CM) talks to his party leaders and informs us, we will call an all-party meeting. I don’t think there is any scope for disagreement between political parties on this issue,” Nitish told the media after his weekly ‘Janta Ke Darbar Mein Chief Minister’ programme.
The CM also said that he wants leaders of all political parties to have a clear understanding on the issue. “There should be a consensus among every political party on how to conduct the caste census. I am making all the necessary preparations on how the headcount will be, how it will be done and how it will be done. When all the political parties reach a consensus, we will finalize the manner and procedure in the meeting and the state government will announce it.
The CM, who has been reiterating the demand for nationwide caste-based headcount during Census-2021, further said that this would benefit all social groups. “It’s a very valid matter. We’ll make it right so that no one gets left out.”
Nitish also said, “During the census, many people will tell their sub-castes and not their castes. The enumerators will be trained to look into the issues. I have informed the officials about every small and big thing. I am doing this right now.” I will not tell you how to conduct it. When the all-party meeting is called, I will tell everything.”
Earlier on August 23, an 11-member delegation had come A state in Eastern India Under the leadership of CM Nitish met PM Narendra Modi and demanded caste census across the country during Census-2021 itself.
The long pending demand was revived after it was informed by the central government in July this year Lok Sabha That it shall not enumerate the caste-wise population except for the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes.
Answering a written question in the Lok Sabha on 20 July this year, the Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Nityanand Rai, said that the Government of India has decided as a policy not to enumerate the population of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes other than Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the Census-2021.
Earlier, the Bihar Assembly had unanimously passed a resolution on February 18, 2019 and again on February 27, 2020, seeking caste-wise enumeration of the population. Both proposals were sent Union Home Ministry With the request to conduct caste census along with Census-2021.
