The BJP, which has raised doubts over the authenticity and the procedure followed in conducting the census, has made it clear that its members will raise the issue in both Houses.

Leader of the Opposition in Bihar Assembly, Vijay Kumar Sinha, told PTI on Wednesday, "The survey conducted by the government is faulty. The BJP is committed to the all-round development of Dalits and OBCs. But questions will be raised on the authenticity and the procedure followed by the state government in conducting this survey."
