Karimnagar: BC Welfare Minister Ponnam Prabhakar has urged Congress activists to explain the importance of the comprehensive caste enumeration, as promised in the party’s election manifesto, during a house-to-house survey.
On Saturday, a Karimnagar District Congress Party meeting was held under the leadership of DCC President and MLA Kavvampally Satyanarayana.

Leaders from the Indiramma Committee, BC Cell, SC Cell, and other Congress committees will accompany them to inform families about the caste enumeration process.
