Caste census: Pilot seeks to put government on mat, questions timing & intentions
NEW DELHI: Calling for more clarity on caste based census, the Congress on Tuesday urged the government to clarify the reasoning behind the low budget allocation, stop the delay tactics, and conduct the census with the same integrity demonstrated by Telangana. Addressing the media in the capital, senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot hit out at the union government for no official mention about the caste census on Mondays official notification announcing the delayed census. The caste census would meet the same fate as that of the Women Reservation Bill, which the government postponed even after it was passed in the Parliament, he said. Is the 2027 census being timed to engineer a new delimitation that benefits BJP-ruled states? he asked. The Congress general secretary said that while India missed its scheduled census date of 2021, with the enumeration now having been pushed to 2027, there is no mention of a caste census in the notification. Citing the Telangana model, he said that the state government issued a notification that explicitly mentioned the word caste. The state government made it clear that it would carry out a household survey to assess social, educational, economic, employment, political, and caste-related parameters, he added. Given the BJP governments track record of backtracking and distraction tactics, we wont be surprised if it quietly shelves the caste census once again, Pilot said. He also highlighted the meager amount allocated for the census. While census would cost about Rs 8,000 to Rs 10,000 crore, the government had allocated a meagre Rs 570 crore for the purpose, which clearly shows its intentions, he said. Pilot also highlighted Congress leader Rahul Gandhis persistent call for a comprehensive caste census. According to Pilot, Rahul Gandhi has referred to the census as an X-ray of the nation, emphasizing its importance for obtaining precise data on the population of every caste, their geographical spread, and their social, economic, and educational conditions. Meager amount Pilot said that a meager amount was allocated for the census. Government had allocated a meagre Rs 570 crore, which clearly shows its intentions.
Drop fresh caste survey plan, Siroya tells Congress govt in Karnataka
BENGALURU: BJP MP Lahar Singh Siroya has said that the Congress government in the state should drop its plan to conduct a new caste survey and wait for the Union Governments census data. After discarding the survey conducted 10 years ago by spending nearly Rs 200 crore, the ruling Congress has decided to hold the new survey, he said. Apart from wasting public money, the new survey will lead to chaos. There will be two data -- one from old and another from the new survey. People may raise objections after comparing them. Each community will choose the survey that suits it the best. Thus, the very purpose of the survey would be lost, he said. The Union government will also release its census data later. All three surveys will have different data. The state government can help ensure social justice only by dropping its new survey plan, Siroya said. Yathindra says its not wasteful expenditure MYSURU: Congress MLC Yathindra Siddaramaiah has said that the State Governments fresh socio-economic survey is not a wasteful expenditure, as it is the need of the hour for the society and the state. Hitting out at the BJP, the MLC said that the opposition had opposed and had also misled society on the survey. He clarified that these baseless charges and reservations over the report have led the government to order a re-survey, taking people into confidence to uplift all sections of society. The government would have gone by the previous report if there was no opposition, he added. Yathndra said that carrying out the survey is not a problem, as the Telangana and Bihar governments have completed the survey.

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Tuesday accused the Centre of delaying the caste census, saying its intention appears to be to uy time, grab headlines and manage the narrative, and asked the government to be transparent about the exercise. Congress general secretary Sachin Pilot said the objective cannot just be to collect data on an individual's caste but to understand the living conditions of these families and create policies to substantially improve their livelihoods. He said there are doubts about the government's intentions on the caste census and pointed out that the required funding for the census is Rs 10,000 crore whereas the government has allocated only Rs 574 crore. His remarks come a day after a Home Ministry spokesperson made it clear that the census will include caste enumeration , following the Congress' charge that the government notification is silent on the inclusion of caste in the exercise. The demand for a caste census was led by the Congress party, particularly by the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, who has been raising this issue for several years. Due to the party's continuous and forceful demand, the Modi government has yielded and announced a caste census. However, the facts and figures tell a different story, Pilot said at a press conference at the Congress' Indira Bhawan headquarters here on Tuesday. The government plans to start the exercise in 2027, but the required funding for the census is Rs 10,000 crore, whereas the government has allocated only Rs 574 crore, he pointed out. The objective is not just to collect data on an individual's caste but to understand the living conditions of these families and create policies to substantially improve their livelihoods. Without tangible data, no state or central government can implement targeted interventions, which is what we aimed to achieve, he said. Initially, the BJP labelled us as urban naxals and refused to accept these demands and now, sensing the country's mood, they have accepted the proposal in principle, he said. However, there seems to be considerable confusion and dissatisfaction regarding it. Therefore, I urge the government to be clear and transparent, avoiding extended deadlines and inadequate budget allocations, Pilot said. The idea is to accurately assess the status of people living in India, and caste census is the perfect way to do it. Unfortunately, it appears the government's intention is to buy time, grab headlines, and manage the narrative, he said. The BJP on Tuesday alleged that the Congress is carrying out false and misleading propaganda on Census 2027 because its hope of gaining power by creating division in society is falling apart with the Narendra Modi-led government's decision to include caste enumeration in the nationwide exercise. The Home Ministry noted that some misleading information, which stated that there was no mention of caste count in the gazette notification, was being spread and later asserted that the Census 2027 would include caste enumeration. Lambasting the Congress for misleading people with false claims, BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi alleged that the prime objective of the opposition party by resorting to such a petty act is to create confusion in society and gain power. Since it is witnessing its objective falling apart, the Congress has resorted to spreading falsehood, deception and lies, he told reporters at the BJP headquarters here. Trivedi said the press releases issued by the government had clearly mentioned that along with the census, a socio-economic assessment and caste census would also be conducted. Marred by its myopic view and blurred vision, rather a motivated nefarious vision, however, they (Congress) are unable to see what is categorically explained in the Modi government's decision to conduct the census, he charged. They are running completely false and misleading propaganda because they feel that their hopes are not being fulfilled, the Rajya Sabha MP added. Trivedi alleged that the Congress has always resorted to vote bank politics in the name of caste but did nothing for the backward communities. The party decided to stop the caste census (enumeration) in 1951 and did not allow the Kaka Kalekar Commission report and the Mandal Commission report to be released, he said. With the 'Sabka saath, sabka vishwas' mantra, Trivedi said, the NDA government under Prime Minister Modi's leadership wants to conduct a census with caste enumeration to ensure ecognition of all castes, respect for all castes and upliftment of the most backward castes. On the contrary, the leaders of the Congress and INDI Alliance only want the upliftment of their families by creating division in the society on caste lines, the BJP leader charged. In 2022, our alliance government in Bihar decided to conduct a caste survey in the state, the BJP leader said. Trivedi also raised questions over the Congress government's decision to conduct a fresh caste survey in Karnataka and asked whether the previous survey conducted with an expenditure of Rs 165 crore was erroneous. Pilot claimed that the Modi government is delaying the caste census just as it had done on the women's reservation issue. We say that the government should stop politicising this and work effectively and adopt the 'Telangana model' for caste census at the national level, he said. Look at the intention of the BJP government, where 8-10 thousand crore rupees are spent in conducting the census, the government has allocated only 570 crore rupees in the budget, he said. The government is telling the people that it will conduct caste census, but this thing is missing from the formal notification, Pilot said. The Congress stuck to its allegations even as the BJP hit back at the opposition party, accusing it of carrying out false and misleading propaganda on Census 2027 because its hope of gaining power by creating division in society is falling apart with the government's decision to include caste enumeration in the nationwide exercise. Pilot said the Congress government in Telangana has done the caste survey work in a very good manner. They did not involve government officials but engaged NGOs and technical people for their survey, he said. Caste census is the first step through which we will know the economic and social status of the people, but the Modi government does not seem to have any intention of conducting caste census, he claimed. The idea of the Congress is to have an expansive detailed survey of the conditions in which people live -- access to education, jobs, government schemes and economic situation, to do better policy formulation, Pilot said. The objective of the exercise is not just to get the name and the caste of a person - that I don't think has that much value. The real value is that you understand in what condition they are living, how successful the schemes have been so far, are the targeted budgets and policy programmes reaching the ones that we are intending for, he said. So that's what Mr Gandhi says 'x-ray' of the country. That is what we require to be done and it requires not just government efforts, it requires participation from NGOs, experts in that field. Telangana should be the model adopted by the government, Pilot said. The Congress on Monday had termed the notification for India's 16th census as a damp squib and asserted that the Modi government must adopt the Telangana model for not just caste enumeration but also in bringing out detailed data on socioeconomic parameters caste-wise. The opposition party also said the notification is silent on the inclusion of caste in the exercise and asked whether this is another U-turn by the government. However, an MHA spokesperson had dismissed such claims as misleading. It has already been mentioned in the press releases dated 30 April, 4 June and 15 June 2025 that census will also have caste enumeration, the spokesperson had said.

Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw inaugurates Indias largest automobile Gatishakti Cargo Terminal in Manesar
CHANDIGARH: The Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw inaugurated the countrys largest automobile cargo terminal, the Gati Shakti Multi-Modal Cargo Terminal at Maruti Suzukis Manesar facility in Haryana. The terminal is expected to significantly enhance freight capacity and industrial logistics. It is connected to Patli railway station via a ten-kilometre dedicated rail corridor, a component of the 121.7-kilometre Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor developed by the Haryana Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (HRIDC). Vaishnaw noted that 108 Multimodal Cargo terminals are now ready and will soon be in service. Spread over 46 acres inside the MSIL Manesar facility, the railway siding features a fully electrified corridor having four full-length tracks for rakes and one track for engine escape, totalling 8.2 kilometres of track length. The siding also includes a two-floor station building, a dedicated pathway for guards and drivers along the tracks, advanced electronic train interlocking and many more. Models manufactured at MSILs Gurugram and Manesar facilities will be dispatched to 17 hubs from this railway siding serving 380 cities across India. Port locations of Mundra and Pipavav, used by the company for exports, will also be served. The railway siding will have a dispatch capability of 450,000 vehicles at full capacity. Speaking at the inauguration of the railway siding facility at Maruti Plant in Manesar, Haryana, Ashwini Vaishnav said that to upgrade passenger trains, 16 and 20-coach Main Line EMU trains will be manufactured. Till now, MEMUs were manufactured with 8 or 12 coaches. This project will be implemented in a new factory being started in Kazipet, Telangana. This will provide great relief for short-distance travel. The number of Amrit Bharat Express trains will soon increase by six more as 50 more trains are under making. Also, Vande Bharat trains are being extended to new routes, he said. Vaishnav said, NaMo Bharat trains have received a great response from the passengers. Now, 50 new AC passenger trains will be added. Earlier, two trains started between Ahmedabad-Bhuj and Patna-Jaynagar. In total, 150 new passenger trains will come into service. So far, the work of 1300 Amrit Bharat stations has been approved. Out of these, 103 stations have been completed recently, and the Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated them from Bikaner. Now, 100 more such stations will be completed by December 2025, and 500 more stations will be constructed by 2026. Vaishnaw said that to prevent misuse of bots in Tatkal ticket booking, only KYC-verified passengers will get the facility of online booking from July 1 and an ID will also be mandatory on window booking. He added that India now ranks second in the world in both freight and passenger traffic. Last year, 7.2 billion passengers travelled by rail and 1617 million tonnes of goods were carried. The freight corridor is now fully operational and about 400 freight trains are running on it every day, he said. Vaishnaw further said that the Bikaner Division has started publishing the chart 24 hours in advance (it was four hours in advance, earlier) as an innovative initiative. It reduced uncertainty among the passengers and facilitated them in making better plans. He said that the Indian Railways has witnessed an unprecedented transformation in the last 11 years under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He added that before 2014, Railways remained a victim of neglect for decades, with an annual investment of only Rs 25,000 to 30,000 crores. However, now the investment has increased to Rs 2.5 lakh crores, which is accelerating the development of railway infrastructure and facilities. Vaishnaw said, Legacy problems prevailing in Railways over the years are now being eliminated one by one. Stations, trains, toilets, tracks, cleanliness, technology -- every sector has been improved comprehensively. New facilities are being provided to passengers and integrated development is being given priority in collaboration with the industry. Haryana Chief Minister Nayan Singh Saini highlighted that today, Haryana has become one of Indias leading automobile manufacturing hubs, producing nearly 50 per cent of all cars made in the country. The development of an internal railway yard by the Haryana Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation at Maruti underscores the States commitment to 'Ease of Doing Business' and infrastructure development, he said. Reaffirming the vision to emerge as a logistics hub, the State has partnered with various industry bodies and educational institutions to enhance workforce skills across Haryana, he added. Saini said that the project is an outstanding example of Prime Minister Narendra Modis visionary Gati Shakti initiative more than a scheme, it represents a revolution and a commitment to transform Indias approach to infrastructure development. He further shared that the PM Gati Shakti platform brings together key sectors such as railways, roads, ports, airports, waterways, and logistics under one integrated vision. The railway siding at Maruti Suzuki is an example of it, allowing cars manufactured at the plant to be directly loaded onto cargo trains and shipped to destinations across India. Speaking on the occasion, Hisashi Takeuchi, MD and CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, The project underscores our strong commitment to Indias Net Zero emissions target 2070. It will contribute to avoiding 175,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions, saving 60 million litres of fuel annually at full capacity, and reducing road congestion. Lowering carbon emissions remains a top priority at Maruti Suzuki, and we aim to achieve this by increasing the share of vehicle dispatches through railways to 35 per cent by FY 2030-31.

Telangana to convene all-party meeting on June 18 over controversial Godavari-Banakacherla project
HYDERABAD: The Telangana government has announced a crucial meeting to be held on June 18, 2025 at the Secretariat, inviting all Members of Parliament (both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha) to discuss the proposed Godavari-Banakacherla (G-B) project put forward by the Andhra Pradesh government. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy will attend the meeting. Union Ministers G. Kishan Reddy, who also serves as the BJP state president, and Bandi Sanjay Kumar have also been extended invitations to contribute their views. In a statement issued on Tuesday, Irrigation Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy said Andhra Pradesh had submitted its proposal for the G-B project to the Ministries of Jal Shakti and Finance. According to a preliminary study, the project appears to violate both the Godavari Water Dispute Tribunal (GWDT) award of 1980 and the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act (APRA), 2014. The project, if implemented, would adversely impact the water rights of Telangana, he reiterated. The Minister further recalled that he had written to the Union Ministers of Finance and Jal Shakti on January 22, 2025, outlining Telanganas objections. Jal Shakti Minister C.R. Patil, in his response dated May 28, 2025, assured that the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the G-B link scheme had not yet been submitted to the Central government. He added that once received, the project would be reviewed in accordance with existing tribunal awards, inter-state agreements, and APRA provisions. Centre hasnt taken any decision yet on Godavari-Banakacherla: Kishan Uttam Kumar Reddy also mentioned that he and Chief Minister Revanth Reddy had met Minister Patil in New Delhi on June 3, 2025, where they again expressed Telanganas strong reservations about the project. He further stated that a follow-up letter was sent to Minister Patil on June 13, 2025, reiterating Telanganas request to reject the Pre-Feasibility Report (PFR) of the G-B project, which is currently under review by the Central Water Commission (CWC). In light of these developments, and to determine the next steps, we are holding this meeting to seek the views and suggestions of all MPs from Telangana. Chief Minister Revanth Reddy will be present, and we hope for constructive inputs from all stakeholders, including Union Ministers G. Kishan Reddy and Bandi Sanjay Kumar, said Uttam Kumar Reddy. It may be noted that the Godavari-Banakacherla project proposed by Andhra Pradesh seeks to divert 200 TMCFT of Godavari water to the Penna basin via the Krishna basin, at an estimated cost of Rs 80,000 crore. Telangana has consistently objected to the plan, citing that it has not received clearance from the Apex Council, the Godavari River Management Board, or any other statutory body, as mandated by the AP Reorganisation Act, 2014. Recently, Andhra Pradesh officials presented their arguments in favour of the project to the Union Finance Ministry.

HYDERABAD: BRS MLA and former health minister T Harish Rao blamed the Congress government for the National Medical Commissions (NMC) notices to 26 government medical colleges in Telangana.

The UGMEB has summoned the state health secretary and the director of medical education to appear before it on June 18.

Telangana govt to disburse Rs 9,000 crore to 70,11,984 farmers in 9 days under Rythu Bharosa
HYDERABAD: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Monday announced that his government will disburse Rs 9,000 crore to farmers under the Rythu Bharosa Scheme over the next nine days. A total of 70,11,984 farmers will receive the assistance, covering 1.49 crore acres across the state. The aim is to ensure the well-being of farmers, Revanth stated, adding that his regime has spent Rs 1,01,782 crore on farmer welfare over the past 18 months, including expenditure on paddy procurement. The chief minister was taking part in Rythu Nestham, a video conference initiative enabling farmers to interact with agricultural experts and scientists at the Agriculture University. He also held an interaction with farmers through video link. Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, Agriculture Minister Thummala Nageswara Rao and officials were present. During the video conference, the chief minister accused the previous BRS government of failing to fulfil promises made to farmers. He claimed that the BRS government did not fully implement its loan waiver commitment. Of the total Rs 11,500 crore released for waiving farm loans, Rs 8,500 crore went towards interest payments, leaving only Rs 3,000 crore as direct benefit to farmers, Revanth alleged. He alleged that during its 10 years in power, the BRS regime spent only Rs 16,000Rs 17,000 crore on farmer welfare. Revanth alleged that former chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao had asked farmers not to cultivate paddy while cultivating paddy himself on his 150 acres. In contrast, the peoples government is encouraging paddy cultivation and procurement of every grain produced, he added. The chief minister stated that his government was providing a bonus of Rs 500 for superfine paddy, enabling poor families to access quality rice. Telangana, he said, had become the leading state in paddy production with 2.8 crore metric tonnes. CM: Even 18 hrs a day not enough to undo KCRs follies Commenting on the states financial situation, the chief minister said that the government was facing multiple financial challenges. He pointed out that sarpanches had been demanding clearance of pending bills, but the previous government had left bills worth Rs 1.29 lakh crore unpaid. Contractors were awaiting payments totalling Rs 60,000 crore, free electricity dues stood at Rs 20,000 crore, and retirement benefits of Rs 12,000 crore were pending for retired government employees, Revanth stated. He said the BRS government had left a total debt burden of Rs 8.29 lakh crore on the state. Working 18 hours a day was not sufficient to resolve the issues inherited from the previous administration, the chief minister said. Stating that those who turned Telangana into a graveyard are speaking shamelessly, the chief minister said: They lack basic wisdom of giving us some time to set things right. From Day-1 itself, their only goal has been to topple me and creating create hurdles. Are we sleeping in a farmhouse ? No! We are working for the people and are available to all. We are meeting everyone. He also accused the previous regime of corruption in the name of the Dharani portal, and said that his government had introduced the Bhu Bharati Act to resolve land-related issues. The chief minister further criticised opposition leaders, accusing them of attempting to create obstacles for the Congress government from day one. He said, We are not staying in farmhouses; we are working for the people and are accessible to all. On the alleged phone tapping issue, Revanth claimed that during the previous regimes tenure, even private conversations between spouses were at risk of being tapped while his government has restored freedom of expression and privacy. He pointed out that four ministers and the Speaker from Scheduled Caste communities were presently in the government, whereas the previous BRS administration had only one minister from these communities. The chief minister said there was a need to promote commercial crops and crop diversification to ensure profitable farming. He instructed the Agriculture minister to distribute farm equipment on subsidy and directed the Energy department to prepare plans to encourage solar power generation among farmers.
