Speaking to reporters in Maharashtra’s Nandurbar district ahead of party leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra entering the state on its last leg, Ramesh also accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) of dividing the country and polarising society.

“We have given a guarantee that there should be social, economic and caste census. This is our society’s X-ray which will show us the population of various castes and their share in our nation’s wealth. It will also reflect their stake in our democratic institutions,” the Congress general secretary and in-charge of communications said.
