Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has criticized India's education system for being biased against lower castes, labeling the prevailing concept of merit as flawed and detrimental to Dalits, OBCs, and tribals. He advocates for a caste census to unveil the depth of this inequality, asserting that such a measure is crucial for equitable resource distribution, aligning with B.R. Ambedkar's vision. In response, BJP spokesperson C.R. Kesavan condemned Gandhi's remarks, suggesting they reflect a dynastic and feudal mindset. Kesavan emphasized that the Congress party has historically undermined meritorious leaders from SC, ST, and OBC communities who have risen through dedication and hard work.
