Overview
- Meenakshi Singh was filmed telling an AJJAKS gathering in Bhopal that being caste‑conscious is the “need of the hour” and that SC/ST families should teach children their identity.
- In the clip, she urges attendees to “find our people and help our people,” argues that surnames influence treatment in upper-caste society, and invites Adivasi members to meet her in Bhopal.
- The video went viral on social media, with groups including the Akhil Bharatiya Brahmin Samaj calling the remarks casteist and urging Chief Minister Mohan Yadav to act.
