💨 Abstract

The BJP in Odisha denied allegations of acting under pressure from opposition parties, like the BJD and Congress, in approving the inclusion of caste enumeration in the upcoming national census. Both the BJD and Congress claimed credit for the decision by the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA) to include a caste survey in the next census, accusing the Centre of bowing to pressure.
