Prime Minister Narendra Modi has received a letter from RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav requesting a “comprehensive review of the social protection and reservation policies” when the process to include caste enumeration in the next census is over.

The letter was posted on X on Saturday by Yadav, the Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar parliament. On Friday, it was written.

“The caste census is just the beginning of the lengthy process that will lead to social fairness. A thorough examination of social security and reservation policies must result from the census data. Additionally, the letter said that the limit on reservations must be reexamined.

It said that in order to provide proportionate political representation for marginalized groups, the next delimitation process should take into account the socioeconomic realities revealed by the census.

“The redrawing of constituencies should be sensitive to and reflective of the census data,” Yadav wrote to the prime minister.

Due to their systematic exclusion from decision-making forums, OBCs and EBCs need special arrangements for proper political representation.

“Hence, they will need to be expanded based on the proportional representation principle in state assemblies and the parliament of India,” the letter said.

He said that the choice to carry out the caste census has the potential to be a game-changer in our country’s quest for equality.

Millions of people have fought for this census, and they want more than just data—they want dignity and empowerment.

“The private sector, which has been a major beneficiary of public resources, cannot remain insulated from social justice imperatives,” Yadav said.

Businesses have benefited greatly from concessional land prices, electricity subsidies, tax breaks, infrastructure assistance, and other taxpayer-funded financial incentives. He said that it is very legitimate to ask them to represent the social makeup of our nation in exchange.

“Will the data be used as a catalyst for systemic reforms, or will it be confined to dusty archives like many previous commission reports?” said the head of the RJD.

“Prime Minister, your government now stands at a historic crossroads,” he said.

As the spokesman for Bihar, where the caste survey let many people see the reality on the ground, Yadav wrote to the PM, “I assure you of constructive cooperation in utilising the census findings for genuine social transformation.”

According to the letter, the millions who have fought for this census want not just statistics but also dignity, not just enumeration but empowerment.

“I write to you with a sense of cautious optimism,” he said. He continued: “your government and the NDA alliance government dismissed calls for a caste census as divisive and unnecessary” .

Central officials, including the government’s top lawyer and your party, put up roadblocks at every turn when Bihar decided to carry out its caste census.

According to Yadav’s letter, your tardy decision shows that you have taken into consideration the overwhelming requests of the people who have long been marginalized in our society.

Citing the Bihar caste census, which found that OBCs and EBCs make up around 63% of the state’s population, Yadav said that comparable statistics at the federal level might dispel a number of falsehoods that have been spread to uphold the status quo.
