VCK Minister Vanni Arasu — Tamil Nadu's first-ever Social Justice Minister — expressed strong opposition in a combative press statement on Saturday: "We will stop it... we will speak to the Chief Minister."
The minister voiced his strong concern about a particular government decision or proposal that he believes goes against the interests of Dalit communities and socially marginalised sections in Tamil Nadu.
He made clear he would take the matter directly to CM Vijay's attention before it proceeds further.
The statement signals that while VCK is part of the government coalition, it will assertively represent the interests of its constituency from within the cabinet — consistent with VCK's history of principled coalition membership.
