The Telugu Desam Party has urged the Centre to take up caste census of Backward Classes.
In a letter addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu said inclusion of Backward Classes castes in census was essential for their welfare and progress.
Pointing to the fact that the Backward Classes constituted the majority of the population in the country but were a “neglected lot”, the TDP leader recalled that Kaka Kalelkar Commission, the first Backward Classes Commission constituted in 1953, and other subsequent Commissions, including the ones formed by the State governments, had recommended enumeration of the Backward Classes in the census.
