Why has the 2021 census been delayed in India

Allegations by the Congress suggest that the BJP-led government is aiming to end SC/ST reservation.
  • The delay in the 2021 census in India could be due to various logistical challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic, which disrupted data collection processes.
  • Allegations by the Congress party about the BJP-led government aiming to end SC/ST reservations are unsubstantiated and politically motivated.
  • Censuses are complex processes that require significant planning and coordination, hence delays can occur for multiple reasons.
  • The Indian government has reiterated its commitment to upholding and protecting the rights of marginalized communities, including SC/ST groups.
It is important to verify information from reliable sources before drawing conclusions based on political allegations.
