Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav was addressing a gathering at a rally here organised by Balraj Kundu, an Independent legislator, who represents Meham in the Haryana assembly.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday said there are many people from backward communities and classes who are yet to be brought into the mainstream, and pitched for a caste census in the country.
The former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister was addressing a gathering at a rally organised by Balraj Kundu, an Independent legislator, who represents Meham in the Haryana assembly.
A few months ago, Mr Kundu floated his own outfit Haryana Jansewak Party. The development comes ahead of the next year assembly polls in Haryana, where the BJP-JJP coalition is in power.
