Special cabinet on caste census in Karnataka ends without any major decision

Karnataka's cabinet convened to discuss the 'caste census' report, facing strong opposition from Vokkaligas and Veershaiva-Lingayats who deem it unscientific. While Dalits and OBCs support its release, the government is hesitant due to potential political confrontation. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has requested ministers to submit their opinions before the next meeting, indicating a cautious approach to the contentious survey.
