Union Hime Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said that the caste survey was decided when the BJP was part of the Bihar government.

“As far as the caste survey is concerned, it was decided when the BJP was a part of the Bihar government. When the resolution came, we were in support of this and we also supported the report that was given after the survey was conducted,” Shah told  ANI.

“The law was also passed in Bihar Vidhan Sabha but there were several questions raised regarding the survey, which included giving priority to Muslims and some other communities. Several other backward caste delegations met the leaders of the BJP, RJD, and JDU. I urge the Bihar government to find a solution for all the questions raised in this survey,” the senior BJP leader further said.

“The political parties should refrain from benefiting certain communities for their own political benefits. On the other hand, they should also not do injustice with certain communities for their own political gains,” he added.
