Caste census a political drama to save his chair: Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy slams CM Siddaramaiah
2 min read
Bengaluru: Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy launched a scathing attack on Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, accusing him of using the caste census as a political gimmick to divert public attention from the Congress government’s failures.
Speaking to the media near Freedom Park, Kumaraswamy said, “There is no meaning to the caste census report that is now being brandished. The Kantharaj Commission’s report was prepared a decade ago. Why wasn’t it implemented all this while? Now, with the public outrage over failed guarantees, rampant corruption, and price hikes reaching a boiling point, the government is trying to mislead people with the drama of caste census.”
*“A New Survey is Needed – Not a Political Stunt”*
“If you truly want a caste census, then conduct a fresh survey and submit a new report. The last 10 years have brought significant demographic changes,” Kumaraswamy stated. He accused the Congress of exploiting caste for political gain, warning that this divisive agenda could create social unrest.
“Congress is Wrecking Social Harmony”
“Congress, which claims to be secular and flaunts the Constitution at every opportunity, is now actively working to divide society. Siddaramaiah is preparing a platform for caste-based conflicts under the guise of governance,” Kumaraswamy charged.
Kumaraswamy raises doubts over timing questions “Why Now, After Two Years in Power?”
“Siddaramaiah has been in power for two years now. Why was this report not implemented earlier? This sudden interest is nothing but a desperate attempt to cling to power,” he added.
Kumaraswamy concluded by stating that the people of Karnataka will see through this political theatre and hold the Congress accountable for its failures.
