โ€œI met over 30 legislators and ministers from OBC communities today, including BJP legislator Ravi Kumar. All of them have given me a memorandum seeking that the government accept the caste census report and implement it,โ€ he said. He clarified that the caste census was not a census of just OBCs, but that of โ€˜all the seven crore Kannadigasโ€™, Siddaramaiah added. 

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday announced that the Socio-Economic-Educational Census, also known as the caste census report, is likely to be placed before the state Cabinet on October 18 to take a call on its implementation.

โ€œMost likely, the caste census report will be placed before the State Cabinetโ€™s meeting on October 18. We will abide by whatever the Cabinet decides,โ€ the Chief Minister said, interacting with the media after meeting ministers and legislators from Other Backward Communities (OBC) on October 7.
