"'Haryana outcome will have no impact on Cong govt's commitment on caste census'"

Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge on Wednesday said that Haryana Assembly election results will have no impact on the commitment of the Congress government in the State on the issue of caste census.

Karnataka Cabinet is "most likely" to discuss the Socio-Economic and Education Survey report, also known as "caste census", based on a survey conducted in 2014-15 in the State, on October 18.

The BJP won a third straight term in Haryana, dashing the hopes of the Congress. Some reports suggested that the BJP benefited from caste-based consolidations in Haryana, where Congress had during the poll campaign promised a caste survey to woo the backward classes.
