Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Thursday said that the government has taken a bold decision to include caste-based enumeration in the upcoming decadal census and called it a "transformative" and "game-changing" step.
Biju Janata Dal (BJD) MP Sasmit Patra on Wednesday reiterated the party's demand for a caste census, emphasizing that both the general census and caste-based enumeration should be conducted at the earliest.
