Modi accused of delaying caste census and blocking women's reservation act.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh accused the Modi government of delaying the caste census and attempting to block the Women's Reservation Act. He noted the government previously ruled out a caste census but recently announced it would be included in the 2027 census. Ramesh questioned the delays, citing states that completed similar surveys quickly, and alleged the move is politically motivated to mislead the public.
