Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin shared commemorative highlights from the ceremonial unveiling of former Prime Minister V.P. Singh’s statue in Chennai, reaffirming the state's deep reverence for the architect of Mandal Commission implementation. Stalin underscored that V.P. Singh's bold executive decision in 1990 to grant twenty-seven percent reservation for Other Backward Classes in central government jobs altered the political and administrative landscape of independent India.

Stalin observed that V.P. Singh’s unyielding commitment to social justice was forged in partnership with Dravidian leaders, including former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi. By willingly relinquishing office rather than compromising on social justice principles, Singh earned an immortal place in the hearts of millions of socially suppressed and marginalized citizens. His legacy symbolizes that moral principle in public service must always transcend the pursuit of political longevity.

The Chief Minister stressed that commemorating V.P. Singh is a renewal of the struggle for true federalism, comprehensive caste enumeration, and proportional representation in all public sectors. Stalin affirmed that the Dravidian Model governance will continually advocate for backward class empowerment and social equality, ensuring that the transformative ideals of V.P. Singh continue illuminating national political discourse.
