CPI general secretary D. Raja on Tuesday charged that the PMK and AIADMK have pushed reservation to a corner solely for political opportunism. Responding to Deputy Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam’s interview with The Hindu, in which he said the 10.5 % reservation for Vanniyars was only provisional, the CPI leader said the AIADMK and the PMK have rendered reservation a ‘laughing stock’. “The PMK asked for one thing, the AIADMK-led State government announced something else, and has now backtracked saying it is only provisional. How can a policy be provisional? Then what was the need to announce that,” he asked.
