In a recent development, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has expressed her support for the Centre's decision to incorporate caste enumeration in the upcoming census exercise. She described the announcement as a response to robust public sentiment and advocacy.

During her visit to Wayanad, Gandhi emphasized the tireless efforts by her brother, Rahul Gandhi, who championed the cause last year in the face of strong resistance from the BJP. 'He was even ridiculed in Parliament for standing firm on the issue,' she noted.
