Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], April 16 (ANI): Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Wednesday said that the Backward Class Commission has already submitted its report to the cabinet, and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has advised the ministers to study it and come back in the next meeting with suggestions.
Parameshwara further said that the meeting will be held on April 17, where every issue is set to be discussed.
"Backward Class Commission has submitted its report to the Cabinet and the Chief Minister has advised us to go through this report and come back in the next meeting specially called to discuss this report... This will be discussed tomorrow, 17th April... Community leaders' take will be looked into...", G Parameshwara told ANI.
Meanwhile, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday said that a special cabinet meeting has been called on April 17 to discuss the Caste Census report.
Siddaramaiah also told mediapersons that their government will work hard to "build the kind of society that Babasaheb Ambedkar wanted to build."
"Our government will work hard to build the kind of society that Babasaheb Ambedkar wanted to build...A special cabinet meeting has been called to discuss the Caste Census report on 17th April. It will be a single-subject discussion," Siddaramaiah said.
On the other hand, Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy questioned whether the benefit of the census is meant for Siddaramaiah himself or for the Congress party that provided him political backing.
He further remarked that Rahul Gandhi, unfortunately, seems to have failed to grasp the deeper implications of the census.
In a media statement released on the issue, Kumaraswamy said that public anger over the illegitimate and manipulated caste census is justified." Everyone knows the numbers are fake. If a thieving cat shuts its eyes and drinks milk, does the world not see it?" he said.
He accused the Congress government in Karnataka of tearing society apart in the name of the census, placing the state's peace at stake, and using that fire to warm their hands."The hidden agenda of the state Congress government is clear! The All India Congress Party has chosen the census as its weapon to win elections across the country," he alleged. (ANI)
