panjim;Advocate Amit Palyekar, a prominent AAP leader in Goa, has criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for attempting to take credit for the caste census, highlighting the party's previous resistance to the initiative. Palyekar pointed out that from 2021 to 2025, opposition parties, including AAP, consistently demanded a caste census, but the BJP dismissed these calls as attempts to create division. Now, with the government's recent announcement to include caste data in the upcoming national census, the BJP is positioning itself as the champion of the cause.
