The Congress will not profit politically from its demand for caste census in the country, Union Minister Ramdas Athawale said on Sunday.

People know the Congress did not undertake such an exercise when it was in power at the Centre, Mr Athawale added.

"When the Congress was in power at the Centre it never went for caste based census. But now their leaders Rahul Gandhi are seeking it," the Union minister of state for social justice and empowerment told PTI.
