Senior RJD leader and Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday said that he has urged the Jharkhand government to conduct a caste-based survey in the state, like it was being done in Bihar, as the exercise will help determine the "actual status of people".

Yadav, who is in Jharkhand since Saturday to strengthen RJD`s base in the state, was addressing party workers at a Milan Samaroh programme in Ranchi.
