Rajanna once again expressed sharp dissatisfaction with his own party’s government, alleging that recent decisions in the caste census indirectly encourage religious conversions. Speaking to reporters in Tumakuru on Sunday, Rajanna said he had personally opposed the mention of “Christian” alongside caste names in the caste census. On the issue of alleged voter fraud, Rajanna pressed for a thorough investigation into cases of “vote chori” (vote theft). Calling it a serious matter of fraud, the Congress legislator said the issue went beyond clerical errors. By repeatedly questioning his own government’s policies on sensitive issues like caste, conversion, and voter fraud, Rajanna has added to the list of embarrassments confronting Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s administration.
