But even in Jharkhand, the only agenda of BJP is polarisation...These clearly show that BJP is baffled and scared...I would like to tell the PM that when you have the census, only then will you be able to go forward. What is the basis of social justice? Census. Why are they backtracking on the census?...If you don't have caste survey, caste census, how would you deliver social justice?..."
