Government Refutes Rahul Gandhi's Claim on PM Modi's OBC Status

The government issued a fact-check in response to Rahul Gandhi's allegations that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was not born into an OBC family.

Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of misleading people by identifying himself as an OBC member.
The government countered with evidence that Modi's caste was included in the OBC list before he held any executive office.
The controversy arises amid discussions on a national caste census and the political outreach to backward classes.
BJP leaders and government notifications assert Modi's OBC status was recognized before his tenure as Gujarat's Chief Minister.
The debate over Modi's caste status highlights the ongoing political discourse on caste and reservations in India.
