2023 Assembly polls will be first test of Cong's caste census pitch

Even as the Congress is all geared up for the poll battle in the five states of Mizoram, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, the grand old party's plank of "social justice" for the 2024 election will face its first test here. The CWC made three announcements to this effect, which included that a government led by the Congress would conduct a caste census, remove the cap of 50% reservation, and offer a 33 per cent quota to women lawmakers.
