Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Sunday (April 13, 2025) paid tributes to the late Bindheshwari Prasad Mandal, former Bihar Chief Minister, whose report recommending reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in government jobs, made significant impact in the country.
On Mandal’s death anniversary, Mr. Stalin said: “We pay tribute to Thiru. B.P. #Mandal — a torchbearer of social justice whose Commission exposed the structural denial of opportunity to OBCs. The Dravidian movement stood firmly with his vision, even before the nation recognised it.”
Mr. Stalin said the battle that Mandal championed was “far from over”. Many of his bold and fair recommendations still gathered dust, and the pursuit of social justice continued to faced “resistance in new forms,” the CM said. “Honouring #BPMandal means implementing his full vision, not diluting it. We remain committed to that fight.”
