Anurag Thakur Asks About Caste, Sparks Major Uproar In Lok Sabha; Rahul And Akhilesh Join Forces To Criticize | ABP News

Politics over the "halwa" ceremony in Parliament is intensifying with each passing day. The controversy began on Monday, July 29, when Congress leader Rahul Gandhi displayed a poster criticizing the absence of tribal, OBC, and Dalit officials at the event. He accused the government of enjoying "halwa" while the rest of the country suffers. On Tuesday, July 30, BJP leader Anurag Thakur countered Rahul Gandhi's criticism, questioning who benefited from various historical scandals and asking if the "halwa" was sweet or bland. The debate escalated to the issue of caste census, with Rahul Gandhi vowing to push the census forward despite objections. The discussion also touched on the Agniveer scheme, where Thakur defended the government’s policies against Akhilesh Yadav’s critiques, emphasizing the scheme's job guarantees and the government's commitment to veterans.
