Interacting with media persons at party office in Bhopal on Wednesday,  he said Congress is devoid of issues and hence it is talking about caste census.

"If Congress is too much worried about bacward class then it should project its OBC leaders like Arun Yadav, Jitu Patwari as CM face in upcoming Madhya Pradesh assembly election. Rahul Gandhi and Kamal Nath don't reveal their castes but talks about caste census. As Congressmen are left with no issues, henceforth it is trying to pitch for caste census.
