Compensate private schools for RTE seats using state funds: TN BJP president Nainar Nagenthran
TIRUNELVELI: A day after the Madras High Court held that the union government's obligation to disburse its share of funds under the Right to Education (RTE) Act is an independent responsibility, TN BJP president Nainar Nagenthran on Wednesday said Chief Minister MK Stalin should compensate private schools using state funds. 'The chief minister often says he can manage the government without central funds. He should ensure payment to schools for RTE admissions using state resources,' he told reporters.
Responding to another question, Nagenthran said AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami would be NDA's chief minister in 2026. Also, he hinted that talks are on with a party that is currently in the DMK alliance.
Commenting on the law and order situation in Tamil Nadu, the BJP leader said it is deteriorating. 'Incidents such as sexual assaults, murders, and crimes committed under the influence of ganja reflect the worsening situation,' he alleged.
On the delay in releasing the Keezhadi excavation report, Nagenthran said he would take up the matter with the Union government.

Kerala CM writes to PM Modi on loan waiver for Wayanad landslide victims
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking the restoration of Section 13 of the National Disaster Management Act, 2005, that empowers the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) to recommend banks to waive or write off loans or grant fresh loans to persons affected by disasters of severe magnitude. The chief minister intervened in the matter a day after the Centre informed the Kerala High Court that the section has been removed. The Centre had also informed that it was unable to write off the loans of the July 2024 Wayanad landslide victims owing to the repeal of the Section 13 from the Act. 'The section enables providing much needed financial relief to the victims of the disaster, who face unexpected crisis and will have to rebuild their lives after incurring heavy losses,' the CM wrote in his letter to Modi. Pinarayi also pointed out that the provision (Section 13) in the Disaster Management Act is included with humanitarian intent and deleting it amounts to putting victims to added hardship.

Anbumani can be PMK chief after 2026 polls, says Ramadoss
PMK's founder S Ramadoss on Thursday announced that he will decide on whom to have an alliance with and reiterated that he will continue to head the party until the 2026 assembly elections. 'I went to his place; he (Anbumani) came to mine, but in the end, the discussions ended in a stalemate. Now, it's either me or him,' Ramadoss told reporters at his residence in Villupuram. 'Until the 2026 assembly elections, I am the president of PMK,' Ramadoss said. 'I will decide on the alliance and the candidates and after 2026 Anbumani can take over. I will never expel him from the party.' PMK, an influential party in Tamil Nadu with a 5% core vote bank from the Vanniyar community, is a key ally of the NDA. Over the decades, PMK has swung between the DMK and AIADMK. PMK has been in turmoil with the rift between the father and son. Recently, Ramadoss said that he wanted to align with the AIADMK but Anbumani insisted that they remain with the BJP. Ramadoss said that tensions with his son started seven years ago at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's swearing-in in Delhi when Anbumani told him that he would take care of the party. Ramadoss said that it was at that moment he learnt that Anbumani wanted to fully control the PMK, long before he was made its president in 2023. Meanwhile, Anbumani did not react to his father's remarks on Thursday but released statements criticising the ruling DMK government in Tamil Nadu and offered condolences for the plane crash in Ahmedabad. On June 5, Anbumani met his father at his residence but no truce seemed to have been called. After Anbumani left, RSS ideologue Gurumurthy and sidelined AIADMK leader and former Chennai mayor Saidai Duraisamy met senior Ramadoss. Last week, Ramadoss was in Chennai to meet Gurumurthy at his residence. On May 29, senior Ramadoss told reporters that he regretted making Anbumani a Union minister (in the UPA-I government) when he was only 35-year-old. He also said that though he wanted to align with the AIADMK, Anbumani and his wife convinced him to stay with the BJP. To be clear, Ramadoss was only confirming on record what has been known off the record ever since the AIADMK left the BJP in 2023 before patching up this April. After the split, those in the NDA including PMK stayed with the BJP with only the DMDK (Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam) taking the AIADMK's side. According to Ramadoss, the PMK and AIADMK are natural allies and said that they would have won 10 seats together in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls which was swept by the ruling DMK-led coalition. On April 11, the 85-year-old patriarch took over the party from his son and successor Anbumani. The father made himself president of the PMK once again and announced that Anbumani would be its working president on the day Union home minister Amit Shah arrived in Chennai. On the following day, Shah announced that the BJP and AIADMK have patched up after 19 months and will fight the 2026 elections together. Anbumani then challenged his father asserting that he continues to be the party chief since he was elected by PMK's general council. Anbumani's Rajya Sabha tenure ends in July. Senior Ramadoss accused his son of threatening PMK officer bearers against attending his meeting in which only 13 out of 220 party office bearers turned up on May 16. Ramadoss and Anbumani have been sparring publicly since December 2024 after Anbumani objected to Ramadoss' decision to appoint his nephew, P Mukundan as the youth wing chief of PMK.

Caste survey for social justice: Siddaramaiah
The Karnataka cabinet on Thursday formally announced the decision to carry out a fresh caste-based socio-educational survey across the state within a 90-day timeline, scrapping the earlier 2015 exercise and its subsequent 2024 report. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced the move after a special cabinet meeting in Bengaluru. 'We have taken a decision in the cabinet. It was a unanimous decision that a new survey is to be conducted,' he said. The government will consult the Karnataka State Backward Classes Commission (KSBCC), which will oversee the survey and submit its report within the stipulated time. Siddaramaiah said, 'The government will consult the Karnataka State Backward Classes Commission… we are going to give 90 days' time to survey afresh and to give the report.' The CM said the decision was in line with Section 11(1) of the Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes Act, 1995, which mandates a new survey every 10 years. 'After considering all aspects and the law, as it has been 10 years since the Socio-Educational survey was conducted by the Karnataka State Backward Classes Commission, the cabinet has decided to go for a new survey; and as per Section 11(2) of the Act, it has been decided to consult the commission in this regard.' The Congress high command, including party president Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi, directed the state earlier this week to initiate a fresh enumeration, citing concerns of underrepresentation of communities in the earlier exercise. Asked whether the move was made under pressure, Siddaramaiah responded, 'Just because they asked us to do a new survey, we are not doing it. We have not succumbed to pressure from the high command.' Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, also present at the post-cabinet press briefing, echoed this sentiment, stating, 'We don't want political colour. We want social justice. For this reason, we have decided to conduct a caste census again. The opposition parties, who criticised the previous report, are now talking the opposite way.' He said the decision was made after carefully considering public opinion and the views of legislators. 'Anyone can say anything. We have given our consent to the re-examination of the caste census after understanding the feelings and opinions of the people and legislators.' The 2015 survey was conducted from April 11 to May 30 by over 1.6 lakh staff, including 1.33 lakh teachers. It covered 5.98 crore people out of an estimated 6.35 crore population at the time, based on the 2011 Census. The survey had been based on 54 parameters through a door-to-door process. Despite the exhaustive nature of the 2015 survey, it was widely criticised—especially by Karnataka's two dominant communities, the Vokkaligas and the Veerashaiva-Lingayats—who termed it 'unscientific' and demanded that it be rejected. Siddaramaiah noted, 'It is not a question of Vokkaligas or Lingayats. Other backward communities have also given their suggestions.' There was also opposition within the ruling Congress party to accepting the 2015 data. 'Only after discussions started did we realise that, by law and constitutional provisions, it was 10 years old, and a fresh survey was needed,' Siddaramaiah said. 'The provision in the Act is clear that a new survey has to be conducted every 10 years, after which a new list of backward classes could be drawn up by either deleting existing castes or adding new ones.' Siddaramaiah also clarified that although the cabinet had earlier considered the recommendations submitted in February 2024 by the K Jayaprakash Hegde-led commission—based on the 2015 data—it was now deemed outdated. 'The delivery of social justice is possible on the basis of the new report,' he added. When asked what would happen to recommendations such as increasing Muslim reservation to 8%, the CM said, 'After the new survey it will be re-examined.' Responding to a question about the Centre's announcement on including caste data in the national census, he said Karnataka's survey would differ because 'they have nowhere said that they will do a socio-educational survey'. The 2015 survey, conducted under then KSBCC chairman H Kantharaju, had not been accepted during Siddaramaiah's first term as CM (2013-18). He explained that after Congress lost the 2018 election, the then CM HD Kumaraswamy allegedly blocked the acceptance of the survey report. 'Kantharaju had approached the then backward classes welfare minister Puttarangashetty with a request to receive the report, but the then CM Kumaraswamy put pressure on the minister not to receive it,' Siddaramaiah alleged. Later, the BJP government appointed K Jayaprakash Hegde, who was with the party at the time, to head the commission and submit a report based on the old data. Although the report was submitted on February 29, 2024, parliamentary elections delayed cabinet discussions on it until April. The report was placed before the cabinet for the first time on April 11 and discussed in 3-4 meetings since then. Asked about the survey cost, Siddaramaiah declined to comment. He, however, confirmed that members to the Backward Classes Commission would be appointed 'in the next two to three days,' and arrangements would be made to allow Kannadigas living abroad to participate in the survey online. 'This is the original intention of the Congress party,' Shivakumar added. 'Our aim is to involve everyone in the society.' BJP MLC N Ravikumar objected to taxpayer money spent in crores for the 2015 survey if its data were to be rejected in the end. Ravikumar said the Congress's suggestion to re-enumerate the data collected under the 2015 social and educational survey was a 'slap' to the Siddaramaiah-led government, which originally commissioned and supported it during its first term. 'The Congress high command has done injustice to the backward classes. The Congress high command also slammed Siddaramaiah, saying that it was 10 years old and the figures were old,' he said. Ravikumar, who is also the chief whip of the Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Council, added that Siddaramaiah had intended to implement the caste census figures submitted by the Permanent Backward Classes Commission but changed his stance after returning from Delhi. 'Many in Congress had objected to the caste census figures. However, Siddaramaiah had said that he would implement it. But he says that he would conduct a new caste census after returning from Delhi. If so, why did he spend ₹165 crore of taxpayer money? Siddaramaiah, who was called the champion of the backward classes, has done injustice to them,' he said. Shivakumar challenged critics within opposition ranks: 'Let Kumaraswamy, Vijayendra, and Ashok hold a press conference again and say that they should accept the old report… The opposition parties are talking one thing in the past and another in the future.'
