Congress Charts Path Forward: OBC Outreach and Caste Census Take Center Stage at Bengaluru Strategy Meeting

In a significant move to reconnect with the Other Backward Classes (OBC) community, the Congress party convened a crucial strategy meeting in Bengaluru. The meeting’s primary focus was on revitalizing OBC outreach efforts and building momentum for a nationwide caste census. This initiative underlines the party’s commitment to addressing representation concerns and fostering a more inclusive political landscape.

Rebuilding Bridges with OBC Communities

Recognizing the importance of the OBC vote bank, Congress leaders engaged in in-depth discussions on how to effectively reach out to these communities and understand their concerns. The party aims to rebuild trust and demonstrate its commitment to addressing the specific needs and challenges faced by OBC communities across the country.

Caste Census: A Path to Equitable Representation?

A key element of the Congress’s strategy is the advocacy for a nationwide caste census. The party believes that such a census is essential to gather accurate data on the socio-economic conditions of various caste groups, including OBCs. This data, they argue, will be invaluable in formulating targeted policies and ensuring equitable representation in government and other institutions.
