Economic census also necessary with caste census: Chandrashekhar

Bareilly (UP), Sep 17 (UNI) Azad Samaj Party founder and MP Chandrashekhar Azad today said that, along with the caste census, an economic census should also be conducted in the country.
The MP said that a complete caste census has not been conducted in the country since 1931.
"The government claims to be going to the moon, but in reality, poverty and inequality persist. 80 crore people in the country depend on government rations, but in reality, wealth distribution is necessary. The time has come to distribute wealth on earth," he said.
