"Though, the confirmed information has not come yet, if the Centre has decided to postpone the general census in the country, it would be an unfortunate decision for the country and injustice to the countrymen. It is a big conspiracy with the people of the country," Kushwaha said.

The political parties of Bihar, apart from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), are demanding for the caste-based census in the state. The Centre has already denied conducting caste-based census in the country.

Upendra Kushwaha also said that there are so many people who have used abusive words for the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi on different media platforms, the Centre should act on them and punish the offenders.
