Government is misleading- Kharge

This demand of Congress
The Congress had talked about conducting caste census in the 2024 elections. Kharge said that this is not a matter of victory and defeat for him, but a fight against socio-economic backwardness. He said that caste census should be done properly and its results should be implemented.
Congress’s stand on Pahalgam
The Pahalgam terror attack was also discussed in the CWC meeting. Congress leader Charanjit Singh Channi said that the Congress is with the government. He demanded an inquiry into the security lapse and said that the government should take action in this matter. Channi said that the whole country is waiting, so far no action has been taken on Pakistan. There is no information about what the government is doing. The government should take action soon and give results to the country.
What is Congress’s strategy on caste census?
Congress leader Sachin Pilot said that the decision of caste census is due to pressure from the public, Congress and Rahul Gandhi. He said that the government should complete it within the time limit. Kharge said that the government is misleading people on this issue. He said that the Congress will have to formulate its strategy and hold public meetings at the national or state level if needed.
