‘DMK govt. put community on MBC list’
PMK founder S. Ramadoss is hiding the benefits given by the erstwhile DMK government to the Vanniyars and propagating lies for his personal gain, DMK president M.K. Stalin said on Thursday.
Speaking at an event through video-conference to induct workers from various parties into the DMK in Cuddalore district, he said this was the reason many PMK workers (over 600) were joining the DMK.
Mr. Stalin said it was the erstwhile DMK government that had put the Vanniyars on the Most Backward Class (MBC) list, created 20% reservation for these sections and given financial compensation to those who had laid down their lives for the cause. “It was the DMK government that had appointed a DGP from the MBC for the first time, a member from the MBC to the Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission, and a Vanniyar as the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Madras,” the DMK president said.

Naangu Thisai Velalargal Sangam, an amalgamation of caste groups with the ‘Velalar’ title, staged a protest here on Sunday opposing the Central and State governments’ move to confer the title on other caste groups.
The Sangam’s president Kongu K. Devaraj said four major caste groups – Gounder, Chettiar, Mudaliar and Pillaimar and their 40 subdivisions – opposed the Central and State governments’ move to confer the ‘Velalar’ title on the Devendrakula caste.
The Sangam was not against the governments’ move to include the Devendrakula caste group in the Most Backward Class group for reservation purpose, he said and clarified that it opposed only the move to confer the ‘Velalar’ title.
