T.N. CM M.K. Stalin making an announcement on the floor of the Legislative Assembly on Monday, June 24, 2024.
On Monday, June 24, 2024, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin said that the government would bring a resolution in this secession of the Legislative Assembly calling upon the Centre to carry out a caste-based census along with general census.
The Chief Minister answered PMK floor leader G.K. Mani who opined that they should introduce separate reservation for Vanniyars with a suggestion mentioning how such an action could only be viable once there was a caste based census.
“Even in Bihar the caste-wise census has been stayed by the High Court,” he said and reminded Mr. Mani that his party, the PMK, was part of the ruling alliance of the BJP at Centre.
Mr Stalin said a good solution to reservation for Vanniyars could be found only if a caste-based census was conducted along with general census. ”We have decided to move a resolution in the Assembly to press the Centre with regard to this,” he said.
