The Uttar Pradesh government has no plans to conduct a caste census in the State, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on August 10.
Mr. Adityanath’s statement came in response to a question by Samajwadi Party (SP) MLA Sangram Yadav in the Assembly.
The statement holds significance as the Opposition parties and the allies of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are continuously pushing for a caste-based census in the State.
