Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) president Anbumani Ramadoss alleged on Wednesday (September 11, 2024) that the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), the ruling party in Tamil Nadu, has a cordial relationship with the BJP-led Union government “behind the screen”.
Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) president Anbumani Ramadoss alleged on Wednesday (September 11, 2024) that the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), the ruling party in Tamil Nadu, has a cordial relationship with the BJP-led Union government “behind the screen”.
The PMK president was participating in a public meeting on social justice at Suramangalam in Salem.
Addressing the gathering, Mr. Anbumani said despite the 69 percent reservation in Tamil Nadu “being under threat”, the State government has not conducted a caste census.
The DMK government is claiming that only the Union government has the right to conduct caste censuses, he said. “Not just State and Union governments, even panchayat presidents could do it,” the PMK president added.
“The DMK has no moral right to speak about social justice. The PMK does not need five years in power. Just give two years to us and we will do what these DMK and AIADMK (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) have not done in 57 years,” Mr. Anbumani said.
“The DMK speaks against the Union government on screen but has a cordial relationship behind the screen,” he alleged.
Speaking about the “drug menace” in Tamil Nadu, he said: “If PMK comes to power, drugs will be eradicated.”
