PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss on Tuesday said the DMK, which claims to be guided by principles of social justice, should conduct a caste-survey immediately in Tamil Nadu without hesitation and a resolution should be passed in the upcoming session in the State Assembly.
In a statement, he said the DMK government must show that it is serious about ensuring social justice ‘in action’.
“The State of Bihar which has a population of 13 crore is able to conduct a caste survey at a cost of ₹500 crore. It is possible that a survey can be conducted at a much less cost and time-frame in Tamil Nadu, whose population is 7.64 crore. In Bihar, it has only taken 45 days for them to do the survey and around 2.64 lakh officials were involved in the process. It is not impossible,” he said.
