VCK chief and MP Thol Thirumavalavan said on Friday that the party's newly inducted Social Justice Minister, Vanni Arasu, had called for a comprehensive caste census across Tamil Nadu during the first meeting of the newly formed coalition government.
Briefing reporters in Chennai, Thirumavalavan outlined the party's legislative agenda, emphasising that an inclusive data collection mechanism was vital for equitable governance.
"Our primary demand is a thorough, data-driven census," he said.
He underlined the need to map the educational, social, and economic conditions of Scheduled Castes and other marginalised communities across the state.
