Dy CM DK Shivakumar signs petition opposing caste census report as Vokkaligas see trouble

Shivakumar said he stood by the party’s stand on caste census, but he would also want the government to consider the demand of communities for a scientific approach to the survey. “Many communities are fighting for a reservation proportional to their population. These demands cut across the party lines. However, some communities have said they have not been contacted before the census and are asking for a scientific caste census.”
