Cong's Guj resolution revives tensions over caste faultlines
Congress's new Gujarat resolution, emphasizing caste census and social justice for SCs, STs, OBCs, and minorities, faces internal criticism. The resolution mirrors the KHAM formula, which historically alienated Patidars and upper castes. Despite Rahul Gandhi's focus on reclaiming OBC, SC, and ST support, BJP's cultivation of backward communities from a position of power poses a significant challenge.
