LUCKNOW: Amid the vociferous call for by way of the opposition led by way of Samajwadi Birthday party (SP) to carry a caste census in Uttar Pradesh, the Yogi Adityanath executive appears to be strolling on a tightrope over the problem calling it a Centre’s prerogative.

No longer handiest the primary opposition SP but in addition the smaller outfits like OP Rajbhar-led Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Birthday party, Keshav Dev Maurya-led Mahan Dal and Babu Singh Kushwaha-led Janadhikar Birthday party together with BJP allies together with Sanjay Nishad’s Nishad Birthday party and Anupriya Patel’s Apna Dal (S) were difficult it. Alternatively, BSP and RLD have not begun to transparent their stand at the factor.

To the contrary, the BJP has been watching a discreet silence over the problem taking into account its greater ramifications, particularly, in a risky state like UP the place caste performs a the most important position in successful elections.

Additionally, ‘Hindutva’ being the core of BJP’s politics during which it stresses at the cohesion of Hindus as a substitute of caste department, this sort of workout would abate its objective of mobilizing the Hindus as one unit with the large combat of 2024 only a 12 months away.

It’s for a similar explanation why that the ruling birthday party is it appears in a quandary over the caste census which is already in growth in neighbouring Bihar.

UP has over 75 different backward castes (OBC) and 66 scheduled castes (SC) and different sub-castes. Just a selected few like Yadav, Kurmi, Lodh, Rajbhar, Maurya, and Kushwaha amongst OBCs, and Jatav, Pasi, and Valmiki amongst SCs are playing the lion’s proportion of political energy, financial sources, and executive jobs.

Throughout the continuing price range consultation of the UP Meeting, SP leader, and Chief of the opposition, Akhilesh Yadav reiterated the call for for a caste census at the meeting ground on February 23. He put the ruling birthday party in a good spot by way of asking the treasury benches to return transparent on their stand over the problem.

“If Bihar will have a caste census, why can’t we? Our birthday party had promised that if voted to energy, we will be able to entire the caste census inside of 3 months,” stated Akhilesh.

Responding to him, UP Agriculture minister and BJP MLA from Pathardeva in Deoria, known as it the prerogative of the Union executive because it was once the topic indexed at quantity 69 of the Union Record of the 7th Agenda of the Charter of India.

“The Union Govt has enacted the Census Act, 1948, and Census Regulations, 1990. The topic of keeping a census is throughout the purview of the Centre, now not the state,” stated the minister however the opposition remained company on its call for.

Whilst the BJP allies together with NISAHD birthday party and Apna Dal (Sonelal) together with SBSP puzzled the SP executive’s ‘state of no activity’ over the problem all over its rule if Akhilesh was once involved concerning the distribution of sources amongst castes as consistent with their illustration.

But even so the opposition, one of the distinguished OBC faces of the ruling birthday party in UP, Deputy CM Keshav Maurya ruffled many feathers by way of backing the caste census call for early final month. This is a transfer, in keeping with political professionals, as a ploy to scuttle the opposition’s plan to nook the ruling birthday party at the factor.

Alternatively, a fortnight later, Keshav Maurya junked the opposition call for calling it a trifling ‘dhong’ (pretence) forward of the approaching Lok Sabha elections.

“They performed ‘Mauni baba’ when in energy, now elevating the call for to achieve political mileage which might now not come true,” stated the UP Deputy CM.

He had even challenged SP leader Akhilesh Yadav to nominate an individual from every other caste as his birthday party leader to manifest his intent against caste justice.

If the BJP insiders are to be believed, given his caste credentials, Maurya was once requested by way of the birthday party brass to rebuke the opposition over the problem because the SP had deliberate a 10-day marketing campaign over the problem from February 24 on the grass root stage.

“The ruling birthday party is strolling a good rope on caste census factor because it has strived to take the backward communities and Dalits together with the higher castes scrupulously below the umbrella of Hindutva within the contemporary years,” says political scientist Prof AK Mishra of Lucknow College.

In its first time period, the Yogi executive had undertaken a ‘samajik nyay (social justice)’ survey despite the fact that the survey committee document, which defined extra illustration for lesser-represented Dalit and OBC teams, has but to be applied.
