💨 Abstract

Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah believes the Centre's decision to conduct a caste census was influenced by Bihar elections and pressure from the Congress, particularly Rahul Gandhi. He advocates relaxing the 50% reservation ceiling and basing reservation on socio-economic and educational status. The state's caste census report is awaiting implementation, while the Centre's census exercise is imminent.
