The DMK questioned AIADMK leader Edappadi K Palaniswami's newfound support for the arunthathiyar community after he welcomed a Supreme Court judgement validating their reservation. DMK officials highlighted past opposition by AIADMK, particularly former CM Jayalalithaa, who argued that only the central government could decide on SC reservations. DMK cited a 2008 assembly address by former governor Surjith Singh Barnala supporting internal reservations for the economically disadvantaged arunthathiyars and criticized AIADMK's inconsistent stance. The Supreme Court ruling affirmed that state governments could provide internal reservations, countering Jayalalithaa's previous claims.
