Census Comes Within The Purview Of Central Government: Dharmendra Pradhan
Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan says, "Census comes within the purview of Central Government. In India, caste-based census was held before independence.

He vehemently opposed it in the Parliament...They were in power for so long. They never took up this responsibility...This is a tactic by the Congress to hide from the sin they committed in the past few days."
