கல்வித்துறையைக் காவித்துறையாக்கும் பாஜகவின் செயல்களை வாய்மூடி வேடிக்கை பார்த்துவரும் அமைச்சர் செங்கோட்டையனை வீழ்த்த, தன் தந்தை வெங்கிடுவைப்போலவே...

Addressing a massive election rally in Gobichettipalayam on March 28, 2021, DMK president M.K. Stalin made an impassioned appeal to electors to vote for DMK candidate G.V. Manimaran, son of esteemed veteran leader Venkidu, on the Rising Sun symbol. Stalin lauded Manimaran humble service and dedication to local public welfare, while launching a blistering critique against sitting legislator and AIADMK School Education Minister K.A. Sengottaiyan for abjectly compromising Tamil Nadu educational autonomy.

Stalin exposed Sengottaiyan track record, condemning his complete silence and complicity as the BJP-led central government imposed regressive National Education Policy directives, enforced the discriminatory NEET examination that devastated rural medical aspirants, and attempted to inject sectarian curricula into government schools. Stalin asserted that instead of defending the egalitarian social justice legacy pioneered by Periyar, Anna, and Kalaignar, the state Education Minister acted as a subservient rubber stamp for Delhi ideological agenda, betraying millions of first-generation students.

Stalin principled stand on preserving secular, inclusive public education resonated deeply with teachers, parents, and student communities throughout Gobichettipalayam. His powerful speech galvanized voters, establishing education as a vital democratic battleground and solidifying strong momentum for Manimaran candidacy.
