Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has vowed that the Congress will compel the central government to incorporate a caste count in the upcoming national census. He believes this move will pave the way for expanding reservations in political, educational, and employment sectors, even breaching the current 50 per cent cap on quotas.

Speaking during Children’s Day celebrations organised in Hyderabad on Thursday, Reddy emphasised the importance of Telangana’s ongoing caste survey, urging its success to realise broader objectives, including enhanced reservations and resource allocation based on population data.
