In a significant move, Karnataka’s Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has committed to a fresh caste survey. The decision was made after discussions with the Congress high command. The fresh enumeration will be conducted, aiming to finalize the data within a 90-day timeframe. This initiative is in response to viewpoints from several groups, including religious leaders and a few ministers, who have raised concerns about the existing data. Discussions also touched upon the Bengaluru stampede, with Siddaramaiah detailing the governmental responses, including a judicial commission and suspensions. The CM underscored the importance of avoiding political exploitation of the incident, drawing parallels to the Kumbh Mela event.
