AIADMK coordinator and Deputy Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam on Monday told The Hindu that the law providing 10.5% exclusive reservation for Vanniakula Kshatriyas in government jobs and higher education within the 20% quota for the Most Backward Classes (MBC) was only a “provisional arrangement”. The State government had in February enacted the legislation in the last session of the Legislative Assembly, and also notified it in the gazette upon receiving the immediate consent of Governor Banwarilal Purohit. In recent days, there have been reports that AIADMK candidates, including some Ministers in south Tamil Nadu, feared an electoral backlash from other MBC groups upset over the exclusive reservation for the Vanniyars.More Related News
