Why is DMK afraid to conduct a caste census in Tamil Nadu: Anbumani
PMK president Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss on Saturday asked why the DMK leadership was afraid to conduct a caste survey/census and said that a caste survey/caste census is necessary to uplift communities at the bottom of the pile in the society. On the second day of his Padayatra in Uthiramerur at a public meeting, he said that Chief Minister M.K. Stalin lied in the State Assembly that State government doesn't have the powers to conduct the caste census when Congress governments in Telangana, Karnataka have completed it, Andhra and Odisha are currently doing it and Bihar has done it already. 'Even Panchayat president has the powers to conduct a census/survey to take stock of how many people are living in the village, how many own a bike/car, how many houses have a toilet and so on, according to the Collection of Statistics Act, 2008. CM Stalin should stop lying,' he said. At an earlier public meeting, Dr. Anbumani said that the DMK government had implemented just 60 of the 541 promises made in its election manifesto but misleading the public by claiming that 90% of the promises have been realised. The PMK leader said that he was not undertaking this padayatra to seek votes for his party, but to primarily appeal to the people to reject the DMK.
