Karnataka's budget omits caste census, raising concerns

timesofindia.indiatimes.com — March 17, 2025 at 12:02 AM UTC

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah did not include the Socio-Economic Survey in the 2025-26 budget. This has led to speculation that the caste census may be delayed or revised due to opposition from some Congress leaders. Some Congress members, like BK Hariprasad, believe the report will eventually be released. The decision comes as the government awaits updated population data.
