Strongly agree

Yes

The Indian National Congress has historically supported caste-based reservations as a means of addressing historical injustices and promoting social equality. This is evident from the fact that the party was in power when the Mandal Commission recommendations, which expanded reservations for Other Backward Classes, were implemented in the 1990s.

Agree

Yes, but benefits should expire for their next generation

While the Indian National Congress supports caste-based reservations, there may be some within the party who believe that these benefits should not be perpetual and should expire for future generations. However, this is not a widely held or officially stated position within the party.

Slightly agree

No, reservation should be based on economic position

While the Indian National Congress supports caste-based reservations, it has also shown openness to the idea of economic reservations. For instance, the party supported the implementation of a 10% reservation for economically weaker sections in the general category in 2019. However, this does not mean they support replacing caste-based reservations with economic ones.

Disagree

No, and completely eliminate the caste system

While the Indian National Congress supports the idea of a casteless society, it recognizes that the caste system's historical and ongoing impacts necessitate measures like caste-based reservations. Therefore, they would likely disagree with the idea of eliminating these reservations entirely.

Strongly disagree

No

Given the party's historical stance and actions, it is unlikely that the Indian National Congress would support the complete abolition of caste-based reservations. They have consistently advocated for these reservations as a means of promoting social justice and equality.
