Any flaws seen in caste census report will be set right, promises Deputy CM DK Shivakumar
Belagavi: Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar disapproved of ‘hasty comments’ on the data provided by the caste census report, assuring that flaws noticed in the report would be set right.
The Deputy CM, who spoke to reporters at the airport here on Saturday, stated that he had not checked the census report and would comment after reading the report.
He said that the leaders of the Congress, who had promised in the election manifesto that a socio economic survey report would be released to learn the progress of each community, would check the report thoroughly and set right any flaws that they found. “There is no need to panic,” Shivakumar assured.
When asked to comment about Opposition leaders, R Ashoka of Legislative Assembly and Chalavadi Narayanaswamy of the Council, opposing the report, the Deputy CM said that the reactions were expected but he would not respond to their statement, adding that he did not wish to be a spokesperson of the BJP by doing so.

Needing 12 runs in the super over, DC got them in four balls.
Asked to bat first, Delhi Capitals scored 188 for five.
In reply, Yashasvi Jaiswal (51 off 27 balls) and Nitish Rana (51 off 28 balls) scored brisk half-centuries to lead RR's charge before a brilliant final over by Starc took the game to the super over with the visitors finishing at 188 for four in 20 overs.
