Congress to begin its campaign for social justice in Uttar Pradesh this week

Taking up the demand for the nationwide caste census raised by its leader Rahul Gandhi, Uttar Pradesh Congress has decided to march forward on the path of fight for social justice. The UP Congress will begin its campaign for social justice this week.

To begin with, the party has convened a convention on social justice. The party has decided to raise the demand for caste census in a big way. The backward leaders of UP Congress would be in the front line of this campaign.

In preparation for the fight for social justice and caste census, the leaders of UP Congress have already held a series of meetings with the prominent persons of various backward castes in the state. These meetings have been continuing for the past several months at various places in the state.

Congress has appointed three Chief Ministers from backward castes in these four states. Recently in Karnataka congress has made Siddharamiyya as Chief Minister who belonged to the backward Kuruba community.

In Rajasthan, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is from a backward caste known as Mali, Maurya, Saini or Kushwaha. Similarly in Chhattisgarh, Congress has appointed Bhupesh Baghel who belonged to the backward community known as Kurmi. Not only this the party has given due importance to the backward leaders in the top positions in the recent past. Outgoing state president of Congress in UP, Ajay Kumar Lallu too was from backward Kaandu community who is now in the working committee.
