Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) functionary Shridhar Gadge on Tuesday said there should no caste-based census and sought to know what will be achieved by it.
Such an exercise may benefit some people politically as it will provide data of how much is the population of a certain caste, but it is not good socially and in terms of national unity, Gadge, the Vidarbha Sah-Sanghchalak, told reporters.
Notably, the Congress is in favour of a countrywide caste census.
