T.N. CM Stalin pays tributes to Raja of Panagal on his birth anniversary
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Wednesday (July 9, 2025) paid tributes to Justice Party leader Panaganti Ramarayaningar, popularly known as Raja of Panagal, on his 159th birth anniversary, and credited him for issuing the Communal G.O. and enacting the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act. 'While we now assert with pride that reservation is our right, it was a century ago that this visionary of social justice laid the path through the Communal G.O.,' Mr. Stalin said in a post on X. The Communal G.O. sought 'to increase the proportion of posts held by non-Brahmins,' which also included Indian Christians, Muslims, and Adi-Dravidars, in the Provincial Services, including the Madras Secretariat. Mr. Stalin further said: 'If thousands of temples are being administered systematically today without falling under the control of any one particular group, it is because of the enactment of the HR&CE Act.' He also credited the Raja of Panagal for upholding the dignity of Adi Dravidars and said: 'As the successor to the Justice Party, our Dravidian model government continues to walk on the path of equality, the foundation for which was laid down by the Raja of Panagal.'
