Karnataka govt has no authority to conduct caste census: Union min Prahlad Joshi

  •   Fri, Nov 24 2023 11:04:12 PM

Hubballi, Nov 24 (IANS): Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Coal and Mines Pralhad Joshi on Friday stated that the Karnataka government does not have any authority to conduct caste census.

Speaking to reporters here, Joshi said that the task of conducting caste census rests with the central government.

"The Karnataka government is claiming that it will carry out the task of the central government.

"Within the Congress government there are huge differences on the caste census issue. The confusion is on a greater scale within the Congress and it will impact the governance," the minister said.

"The Chairman of the Backward Classes Commission has written a letter stating that the original blueprint has gone missing. Deputy chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and senior Congress leader Shamanur Shivashankarappa are opposed to the caste census.

"Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is trying to dominate by putting a few MLAs at the forefront in this matter. The governance should be ensured in the interest of the people.

"CM Siddaramaiah is creating factions in the Congress. He has sent 20 MLAs on a tour. Many MLAs are touring abroad also. He is creating confusion which is not judicious and is not correct," Joshi stated.

    Under which article of Indian Constitution or Act of the Parliament or the Penal Code of India in holding of caste census by a State Government illegal or invalid or forbidden. So many Polls and Censuses are done by different bodies. Do they need your permission. What a preposterous statement from this person. A few moths before the Karnataka elections HDK had declared that Joshi is secretly projected as the BJP's Chief Ministerial candidate. But BJP failed even to win half as many seats as Congress. Are they now grooming him to be the next Governor of Karnataka?

    If state Govt has no authority,,let your govt conduct,,why you people are opposing caste census,because you don't like Dalits backwards and non Brahmins to know their strength and demand for distribution of population based wealth power and other constitutional rights. Most of the upper class people in every party don't want this report to be published as they are afraid of loosing their bossism on this poor people,,,,,, pacist mentality

    Some are nervous. Caste census will be factual, what harm does it have. Have you been benefiting with fudged data boss? Some day every motive will be unearthed. How ever powerful one wants to be, kalachakra is rotating.

    JOSHI --A Brahmin -- too clever by half -- analysis -- -- The report helps bust the "homogenous Hindutva" narrative of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). -- however vokkaligas and lingayats feel threatened -- hence delays -- -- BUT THE MAIN POINT IS JOSHI"s argument which is not correct -- Below recent order of supreme court on Bihar -- Can’t stop Bihar from releasing more caste-census data: Supreme Court

    PrahladJoshi ,ask Central government to release funds for the farmers ,who suffered due to drought. 25 Mp including yourself go and beg your supreme authority to release funds as early as possible. Later you preach about central and state authorities etc.

    It is the government's responsibility to be non-discriminatory and non-fascist, providing equal opportunities to every citizen of this country, particularly the OBCs who constitute 70% of the population and continue to face caste-based discrimination which has led to disparity in economic growth
