After an all-party meeting on June 1, the chief minister said all parties, including the BJP, unanimously supported the move and replied in the negative when asked if he faced any opposition.

New Delhi: Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday, June 1, said his government would carry out a caste-based “count” instead of a “census” to avoid legal complications.

“We will propose a caste-based count, not census, to avoid legal complications,” NDTV quoted Kumar as saying after chairing an all-party meeting on the issue on Wednesday.

He asserted that all parties, including the BJP, unanimously supported the proposed move and replied in the negative when asked if he faced any opposition. There is a divergence of opinion on the matter between the BJP’s central leadership and the state unit – while the former is opposed to it, the latter has been in support of the move.

Kumar said, “To implement this a proposal will be passed in the state cabinet. The aim is that every section of the society can progress properly.”

Justifying his government’s decision to carry out such an exercise, he underlined that states like Karnataka, Odisha and Telangana had carried out similar counts in the name of “socio-economic surveys” in the past.

As for the Union government, it has been of the view that it will not be able to conduct a headcount of castes other than Dalits and tribals as part of the census, notwithstanding strong demand for the same from political parties in Bihar where resolutions have been twice passed, unanimously, by the state legislature.
