Close on the heels of Congress central leaders asking Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar to undertake a fresh survey of Karnataka’s population, the Cabinet on June 12 decided to hold a fresh socio-educational survey — a demand of the politically dominant Vokkaliga and Veerashiava-Lingayat communities.

As and when the new survey will be taken up, it would be the second survey of sorts in Karnataka.
