Anbumani Ramadoss, the leader of the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) party, has publicly criticized Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin for opposing the Constitution Amendment Bill that seeks to reserve seats for women in legislative bodies. In his statement, Ramadoss highlighted that the discussion surrounding women's reservation has been ongoing since the late 1980s. He accused Stalin and other parties, including the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and Congress, of blocking similar initiatives in the past. Ramadoss asserted that the concerns raised by Stalin regarding potential reductions in Tamil Nadu’s Parliamentary representation have already been adequately addressed. This opposition, he argues, undermines efforts toward women's empowerment in the region.
