Caste-wise census, success of BSP ideology, claims Maha gen-secy

Pune, May 4 (UNI) The decision taken by the central government to conduct a caste-wise census in the country is a victory of the ideology, demand and struggle of the Bahujan Samaj Party, claimed the party's state general secretary and West Maharashtra zone in-charge Dr Hulgesh Chalwadi here on Sunday. He alleged that the Bahujan society is still being exploited, suffered and deprived due to anti-Bahujan policy of the Congress and BJP and claimed that there is a competition between BJP-Congress to take credit for the decision of the caste-wise census. Dr Chalwadi said that it is because of the struggle of BSP, which is based on the ideas of the party's founder Kanshi Ram ji, who first gave the slogan 'The greater the number, the greater the share', that a caste-wise census will be conducted for the first time in the country after independence. Basically, the origin of this demand is of BSP, he claimed and said if the policy of the Congress-BJP and other parties towards Bahujans had been pure, the OBC community would have become a big partner in development of the country, he said. He further said that due to continuous struggle of the great man Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar and the BSP, the OBC community has become very aware today. Due to this, these parties, which have set their eyes on the votes of OBCs like Dalits, are pretending to be acting for benefit of Bahujans, he charged. Dr Chalwadi said that interests of Dalits, tribals, OBCs and the entire community are included in the BSP. While taking credit for the Centre's decision to conduct the first caste-based census in the country after 1931 and independence, he alleged that the Congress, which was ousted from power due to the 'black chapter' of depriving crores of Dalit-OBC citizens of their constitutional rights including reservation, had forgotten them.
