Which slogan will replace 'batenge to katenge': Manoj Kumar Jha takes veiled dig at BJP leaders

Patna: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Manoj Jha on Friday took a veiled dig at Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders who had earlier opposed the caste census, questioning how they would now justify their past statements in light of the Centre’s latest policy shift.

"Which slogan will replace 'batenge to katenge'?" ANI quoted Jha as saying. He noted that RJD leaders, including Tejashwi Yadav, have long advocated for the caste census, calling it a legitimate and overdue demand.

Taking aim at senior BJP leaders, Jha remarked, “I am worried about those big leaders who have been saying things like, if caste census happens, the poison of casteism will spread, how will they cover up their statement now?"

Calling for concrete action, Jha urged the government to publish a clear timeline for conducting the long-delayed census. “The census was supposed to happen in 2021. It has been four years, and there has been no initiative. Caste census, women's reservation, and delimitation are associated with the census. There should be a timeline or a roadmap for the same," news agency ANI quoted him as saying.

In a major decision, the Centre on Wednesday announced that caste enumeration will be incorporated in the upcoming census exercise in a “transparent” manner. The move follows persistent demands from the Opposition, including the Congress, which has made the caste census a key electoral issue.
