Amid heightening leadership row with son, Ramadoss vows to form 'victorious alliance'
Chennai, Aug 11 (UNI) Amid the heightened leadership row between the father and son duo in the first family of the OBC-Vanniyar dominated PMK, its Founder Dr S Ramadoss said he would definitely form a 'victorious alliance' for the 2026 Assembly polls, due in 8-9 months. In a veiled reference to his son Dr Anbumani, who had made a similar claim at the GC meeting convened by him two days back in his capacity as the PMK President (though later demoted as Working President by his dad in May this year over the leadership tussle) after the Madras High Court cleared the decks, Dr Ramadoss urged the PMK cadres not to heed to anybody's words and asserted that whatever he tell will definitely happen. Winding up the 8th Vanniyar Women's Conference organised by the PMK at Vanniyar Sangam at Poompuhar in Mayiladthurai district last night, he exhorted the party cadre not to heed to 'anyone else's words' and assured that he would definitely form a 'victorious alliance' for the 2026 Assembly elections. 'I will form a victorious alliance in 2026 no matter who says what. You don't even have to hear it — only what I tell will happen,' Dr. Ramadoss told the gathering. Urging Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin to conduct the caste-based survey in state and questioned his hesitancy, Dr. Ramadoss said conducting the census would secure the Chief Minister, a place in 'social history. 'Late Chief Minister Karunanidhi was my good friend. He gave 20% reservation for MBCs. As his son, you should not hesitate,' he said, in a fervent plea to Mr Stalin to conduct the census. He also urged Mr Stalin not to push the PMK to launch state-wide agitations in this regard. He also demanded introduction of total prohibition in the state and the elimination of ganja and drug menace in the state. and resolutions in this regard were adopted at the conference. UNI GV 1443

'Fifteen lakh people benefited out of our medical camps held across the state during our 10-year regime,'' he said adding that Stalin was duping the people of Tamil Nadu by claiming credit for AIADMK schemes by renaming them.

EPS said that the AIADMK-BJP alliance was robust and that they would win 210 seats in the 2026 elections. 'The DMK depends on its alliance partners, while the AIADMK-BJP alliance relies on the people,' he said. EPS said that the AIADMK has maintained a harmonious relationship with the central government while governing the state effectively, which led to prosperity of Tamil Nadu. During his speech at Veppanapalli, EPS said the DMK govt had failed to protect the interests of farmers. He alleged that the DMK government had not opened the flower auction centre in Hosur, which was constructed at a cost of Rs.20 crore during the AIADMK's tenure. He said the centre would be operational once the AIADMK regains power. EPS said the DMK govt ignored the mango farmers' request for a base price for their crops and guaranteed that their requests would be met.

The students in school uniforms were draped in saffron shawls. "A few BJP functionaries draped their party shawls over them and asked them to join the crowd," said K Srinivasan, who was at the rally.

DMK wants Puducherry to adopt education policy of Tamil Nadu
The Leader of the Opposition and DMK convenor R. Siva has called for the Puducherry government to adopt the Tamil Nadu Government's new State Education Policy. In a statement, Mr. Siva stated that whereas the National Education Policy (NEP) was a design of right wing ideology and exclusionary of weaker sections, the State Education Policy recently formulated by Tamil Nadu Government was socially inclusive and a vision document for the future for students, and society at large. The DMK leader pointed out that the Tamil Nadu Education Department had scrapped the examination system for certain classes and confined it to only Classes 10 and 12, virtually derailing the NEP plan to expel vast sections from the education system by conducting tests in the 5th, 8th, 10th and 12th standards. The Tamil Nadu policy as announced by Chief Minister MK Stalin also also emphatic in its adoption of a bilingual policy (English and Tamil) and rejection of a third language as sought be imposed by the NEP. Further, the policy promotes comprehension and learning without rote learning and gives priority to girls education and gender equality, he added. The DMK urged for Puducherry, where the school system had been aligned with the Tamil Nadu State Board, to follow TN's education policy. He pointed out that while Puducherry and Tamil Nadu had largely followed similar patterns of development and welfare, the tenure of the AINRC-BJP NDA government had marked a departure in the field of education by migrating all government schools to the CBSE pattern under pressure of the Centre, Mr. Siva contended. The DMK convenor also stated that the transition had already taken a toll on the student community and threatened their future continuance in the education system. He warned that the DMK would mobilise a mass agitation if the government refused to heed calls for safeguarding the future of students by reverting to the Tamil Nadu education system.
