Bengaluru, Oct 10 || Karnataka BJP president B. Y. Vijayendra on Friday criticised the state government for making a "hasty" decision on conducting the caste census without "adequate" preparation.
Speaking to the media persons at Vidhana Soudha, BJP MLA Vijayendra said that even the teachers appointed as enumerators are facing difficulties due to "poor" planning.
"Extending holidays for the census is causing problems for rural students, especially those studying in government schools. Every single school day is crucial for these children, yet the government has declared unnecessary holidays, disrupting their education," he said.
Vijayendra further alleged that the government had convened the first meeting of the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) without even sharing the meeting agenda with the legislators.
