Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition, publicly admitted that the Congress party failed to adequately address the needs and aspirations of Other Backward Classes (OBCs), calling the delay in conducting a caste census a personal mistake. He pledged to correct this by promising a nationwide caste census and greater representation for OBCs if Congress comes to power. The admission sparked a heated political debate, with Congress leaders comparing Gandhi to Ambedkar, while the BJP accused Congress of hypocrisy and repeatedly insulting OBCs. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and other leaders emphasized a renewed focus on OBC empowerment and reservations. The controversy highlights a major shift in Congress strategy as it seeks to reclaim support from backward communities and counter the BJP’s dominance.
