Misleading people: Rajnath attacks Rahul Gandhi for caste census promise

Quick Summary:

Hitting out at Rahul Gandhi for promising of caste census if Congress is voted to power, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday accused the party of misleading people and wondered why it did not carry out the exercise when the grand old party ruled the country.

Addressing an election rally in Jharkhand's Khunti, Singh also alleged that the law and order situation in the state has gone from bad to worse because of infiltration from Bangladesh under the patronisation of the JMM-led government.

In 2011, a socio-economic caste census was conducted in which around 46 lakh castes, sub-castes and gotras were found.
