Recently there has been a huge controversy over the caste survey in Telangana. Opposition parties, especially Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and BJP have targeted the Congress government regarding the disturbances in the survey.
After this criticism, the state government has now decided to conduct a survey again between 16 and 28 February. However, this survey will be done only for 3.1 percent of families who could not join the previous caste calculations.
The accuracy and reliability of the recently released ethnic data in Telangana is being questioned, especially over the alleged decline in the population of backward castes.
Why did the Congress government decide to survey again?
Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka announced this decision and said,
“3.1% of families have said that they want to give their details again. For them, the state government has decided to re -count again from 16 to 28 February. A toll-free number will also be released for the remaining families, where they can update their information. ”
People can also update their information through online, toll-free number or divisional offices.
After the survey, the data will be reviewed by the State Cabinet in the first week of March.
