Thus, from 2013 to 2018, when Siddaramaiah was the CM for the first time, social and educational survey i.e. caste census was conducted. But due to various reasons, the government did not receive the report. In the meantime, the report was leaked and made a huge noise. Now the Congress government has come to power again in the state and Siddaramaiah is once again the CM. CM Siddaramaiah often said that he would accept the caste census report after coming to power.
