AMMK general secretary, T.T.V. Dhinakaran, on Tuesday demanded that the DMK government initiate steps immediately for a caste survey, as was done in Bihar.
In a statement, he referred to the ruling party’s manifesto for the 2021 Assembly polls and said that it seemed as if the government had not undertaken any measures in line with its manifesto.
The Kulasekaran Commission, which was constituted during the previous AIADMK regime headed by Edappadi K. Palaniswami to collect caste-wise data in Tamil Nadu, had also ceased to exist, he pointed out.
