Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao today slammed the Centre for remaining ignorant on caste census which will help prepare plans for their development.
On jobs to youth, KCR announced to fill up about 80000 posts in the state through notifications in two to three months. We have offered 1.30 lakh jobs and employment in government and private sectors and we give reservations to categories, he informed the Assembly during a debate on jobs, caste and schemes.
He informed the Assembly during a debate on jobs, Dalit Bandhu and need for caste census and government plans to develop other sections.
The Chief Minister said that he appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ensure that the caste census was conducted. Several times I appealed for the same and the Centre is not ready for it, he said. What is wrong if the caste census was completed and to plan out modalities through proper funding he asked.

The SC, ST, Minorities and BCs population which varies from state to state will need financial support and we have to plan accordingly. Time and again I asked the Centre for it and we will send an appeal through the Assembly session to the Centre to do caste Census, he said. The CM also said that the SCs who were deprived of development for seven decades should get benefits. The population of Dalits, STs and BCs is different from various states and we need to plan out need-based programs, KCR asserted.
During a debate on caste census, jobs, and plans develop people through employment. The Chief Minister said that he asked the Centre to take up caste Census to help the SC category which contributes to about 17.5 percent of the state population.
The state would urge the Centre to take up caste census, increase reservations to SCs and give funds for development, the CM said.
We will pass a unanimous resolution in this regard and urged upon the Centre to take up the caste census, he said. He hoped that through that the government can opt for need-based development and welfare of the communities deprived of development. About 17.5 percent of Dalits share our population who need immediate support, he said.
