Congress plans new caste census in Karnataka to ensure accurate community representation.

The Congress party in Karnataka has decided to conduct a new caste census to address complaints from communities who feel they were overlooked in the outdated decade-old survey. This decision came during a high-level meeting that also addressed criticism over the recent Bengaluru stampede, which killed 11 people. The party is urging the state government to act swiftly, similar to a census conducted in Telangana, to ensure accurate representation of various communities.
