Rahul Gandhi Advocates for Inclusive Strategy Amid Congress's Reflection on OBC Commitment

Rahul Gandhi, a senior leader of the Congress party, admitted on Thursday that the party has fallen short in addressing the challenges faced by the OBC community over the past 10 to 15 years, inadvertently allowing BJP to fill the gap.

During an event at Indira Bhawan, he emphasized the role of Congress in ensuring fairness for all Indian communities, praising Telangana's recent socio-economic survey as a beacon for future national policies. He argued this survey's comprehensive approach could reshape governance strategies and development at a grassroots level.

Citing BJP's resistance to caste-based census data, Gandhi pledged to continue pressing for social justice reforms and expanding reservation policies. Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge urged party leaders to leverage the survey model across states, aiming for broad coalition support among marginalized communities.
