PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss on Monday criticised Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin for not conducting a caste-based survey in the State, “despite having the power, financial resources, and legal backing to do so.”

Speaking at a public meeting in Gingee during his “Rights-retrieval walk”, he claimed the DMK government continued to evade the issue, while States like Telangana and Bihar had successfully completed caste-based enumeration and implemented welfare measures.
