For over seven decades, the Congress Caste Census story has been one of deception. While the party projected itself as a voice of social justice, it quietly suppressed real empowerment—caste data. The Congress Caste Census issue resurfaced in Karnataka, where data was buried for years. From the UPA’s ₹5,000 crore SECC failure to internal contradictions and disrespect towards Dalit and tribal leaders, the truth about the Congress Caste Census exposes political doublespeak. Watch this report to understand why accurate caste enumeration was never a priority for the Congress party, and how BJP has changed the narrative.

00:01For decades, the Congress party claimed to be the voice of the marginalized, the champion of social justice.
00:08But when it came to the one thing that could truly empower the oppressed, accurate caste data, Congress looked the other way.
00:16It delayed, diluted and eventually dumped the idea of a national caste census.
00:22Now we break down the decades of doublespeak and political hypocrisy for you.

00:36After independence, the Congress-led government chose to drop caste enumeration from the 1951 census.
00:43Not because it was hard, but because it was politically inconvenient.
00:48And ever since, Congress has followed the same pattern, stall, suppress and sideline.
00:55In 2010, UPA Law Minister Virappa Moily pushed for caste data in 2011 census.
01:01What did the Congress do?

01:20Why?
01:21Because the truth could shake both bank arithmetic.
01:24Fast forward to Karnataka.
01:26In 2015, then-Chief Minister Siddharamaya, again from Congress, commissioned a caste survey.
01:32What happened next?
01:34Silence.
01:35The data was locked away for nearly a decade.
01:38And why so?
01:40Because it upset dominant caste groups like Boca Ligas and Lingayats.
01:44When it was finally made public in 2017, UPA law was the alleged
01:44unfounded, and in 2015,
