Decode Politics: Why DMK govt has labelled a Central scheme 'casteist', refused to implement it

Tamil Nadu CM M K Stalin opposed the Vishwakarma scheme earlier this year in a letter to PM Modi and wrote to Union Minister for MSMEs Jitan Ram Manjhi this week.

The article from The Indian Express discusses the controversy surrounding the Tamil Nadu government's decision to rename the central government's 'Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thittam' scheme to 'Magalir Urimai Thogai Thittam'. The central scheme, initially named after DMK leader M Karunanidhi, was intended to provide financial assistance to women. The renaming has sparked a political debate, with the BJP criticizing the DMK for allegedly disrespecting Karunanidhi and for what they perceive as casteist undertones in the new name. The DMK, however, argues that the change was made to avoid confusion with other schemes and to emphasize the scheme's focus on women's rights. This move has led to accusations from BJP that DMK is engaging in caste politics, while DMK leaders defend the decision as administrative and not politically motivated.
