HYDERABAD: AICC leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjuna Kharge are most likely to participate in an event organised by the Congress here on November 5, eve of the caste census. The event is to be hosted at the Gandhian Ideology Centre in Bowenpally, Secunderabad, aims to gather public opinions and suggestions on the caste census.
The caste census initiative was a core promise made by Rahul Gandhi during the Assembly elections. It was being fulfilled by the Revanth Reddy government, said TPCC president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud.
The caste census is a policy decision of the party national leadership which has promised to hold a nationwide caste survey if voted to power at the Centre. The caste survey was being completed in Congress run states.

Goud criticised the BJP and BRS for opposing caste census, saying, "Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is dedicated to providing governance that aligns with the people's trust." He questioned the sincerity of the BJP towards Backward Classes (BCs) and took a jab at the previous BRS regime for not releasing the report of comprehensive household survey done in 2014.
