No force can stop caste census: Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi (PTI): In a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said those who call themselves ‘deshbakt’ are scared of the ‘X-ray’ of caste census and asserted that no force can stop it.
Addressing the ‘Samajik Nyay Sammelan’ here, Gandhi said it is his life’s mission to ensure justice for the 90 percent of the population against whom injustice has been done.
“As soon as our government is formed, the first thing that would be done is caste census,” Gandhi said.
He also said that the Congress manifesto aims to give back 90 per cent Indians a small part of the Rs 16 lakh crore given to big businessmen as loan waivers.

JDS launches attack on state government over unpaid salaries of ambulance drivers
Bengaluru: The Janata Dal (Secular) (JDS) has attacked the state Congress government for its failure to pay the salaries of 108 ambulance drivers, despite their crucial role in emergency healthcare services. The criticism comes amidst growing discontent over the government's inability to fulfil its financial obligations.
In a scathing statement, the JDS accused the government of prioritising popularity over the welfare of its citizens. Highlighting the plight of the ambulance drivers, who have not received their salaries for three months, the party condemned the administration's lack of accountability.
"The state Congress government is more addicted to popularity than people," remarked the JDS spokesperson. "Irresponsibility is more evident than drought management. It's a disgrace that these drivers, who risk their lives to save others, have been neglected in this manner."
The issue gained further traction after Chief Minister Siddaramaiah made a bold declaration during a speech in Bagalkot, promising to resign if any state government employee reported unpaid wages. JDS immediately seized upon this statement, calling for the CM's resignation in light of the unpaid salaries of the ambulance drivers.
"If even a single government employee of the state comes to me and says that his salary has not been paid, I will retire from politics," CM Siddaramaiah had declared.
Responding to the CM's challenge, the JDS demanded immediate action to rectify the situation and ensure that the ambulance drivers receive their overdue wages without further delay.
