During a press conference on Monday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi requested journalists to raise their hands if they belonged to the Dalit or OBC communities. His intention was to highlight that individuals from marginalized sections of society were not adequately represented in the country's assets and institutions. Mr. Gandhi addressed the media following a Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting, where he announced that the CWC had unanimously made a historic decision to support the implementation of a nationwide caste census. He emphasized that this move was a significant step towards empowering the economically disadvantaged.

He also slammed the BJP's criticism of the Congress over its caste census demand and said, ""We are asking how many poor people are there in the country. So this (BJP criticism) is just about distraction."" Flanked by the party's chief ministers in four states, Mr Gandhi also said the decision of the CWC to support a caste census is a ""very progressive"" and ""powerful"" step for the emancipation of poor people.
