Siddaramaiah brings up caste census whenever there is political crisis: Sunil Kumar
Bengaluru: BJP state general secretary V. Sunil Kumar criticised Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, alleging that the CM often brings up the issue of implementing the caste census whenever there is a political crisis. Kumar remarked that Siddaramaiah has made the caste census report a political tool to secure his position, using it as a strategy to claim injustices against the backward classes and lead them astray.
Terming Siddaramaiah, an habitual offender for his “attention-getting tactic”, Sunil Kumar accused Siddaramaiah of diverting attention whenever the government faces difficulties, like the ongoing MUDA issue. He asserted that Siddaramaiah has repeatedly promised to implement the caste census since assuming office but has not taken concrete steps in that direction.
"Is it enough to claim non-implementation due to several reasons without revealing them? Is it due to the fear of DCM DK Shivakumar or are there mistakes in the report?" Kumar questioned. He further urged the CM to clarify the government’s stance on the issue, instead of using it as a political distraction.
Kumar concluded by criticising the CM's approach, saying that he had previously changed the course of leaders like Ramakrishna Hegde, Deve Gowda, and S.M. Krishna. He further said that CM Siddaramaiah has merely engaged in "empty talk" regarding the caste census.

Will let my work talk: Raghav Chadha in Instagram post amid rift with AAP
New Delhi (PTI): Sidelined AAP Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha on Friday shared on Instagram a video titled "Voice Raised Price Paid", a compilation of clips of him raising various issues in Parliament, amid his ongoing rift with his party.
"With due respect, to those who are questioning my parliamentary performance, I will let my work do the talking," he said in the post.
The AAP on April 2 removed Chadha as its deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha and has accused him of shying away from raising his voice against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Centre in Parliament and instead engaging in "soft PR".
A combative Chadha has dismissed the party's allegations as "lies" and said that he went to Parliament to raise people's issues and not to create ruckus.
Since his removal as the AAP's deputy leader in the Upper House, Chadha has shared several videos and posts on social media, making it clear that he will not take his demotion lying down.
