TN CM Welcomes Supreme Court Verdict on OBC Creamy Layer Determination

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin welcomed the Supreme Court's verdict that income alone cannot determine the 'creamy layer' status for OBC reservations, calling it a decisive victory for social justice. He criticized the NDA government's stance, which he said risked excluding genuine OBC candidates and introduced the EWS quota, diverging from constitutional reservation principles. Stalin urged the Union Government to create supernumerary seats for OBC candidates cleared in Civil Services exams and highlighted ongoing efforts to fill unoccupied OBC posts and secure reservations in medical seats.
