On April 30, 2025, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi welcomed the Union Cabinet's decision to include caste enumeration in the upcoming national census, a significant shift in government policy. He stated that while the move was a positive step, it must be backed by a clear timeline and dedicated budget to ensure effective implementation. Gandhi also called for the removal of the 50% cap on reservations, arguing it limits opportunities for marginalized communities. Citing Telangana's model caste census, he urged the Centre to adopt a comprehensive approach and reaffirmed Congress’s commitment to social justice. (PC: Mint)
