SC officials are being demoted after the Supreme Court annulled the roster system followed by the Tamil Nadu government for providing reservation in the promotion of government employees, even after a year of petitioning the minister, this injustice has not stopped, VCKM asked if the Tamil Nadu government could not stop this. B Ravikumar raised the question.
VCK General Secretary and Villupuram Constituency MP Ravikumar posted on his X social media page, ‘SC Government Officers to be demoted’ has raised a question towards the Tamil Nadu Government.
Ravikumar said in the post: “The Tamil Nadu government is depriving the SC government officials of their promotion and demoting them by citing the order given in a case filed by an OBC member in the Supreme Court against the roster system followed by the Tamil Nadu government for providing reservation in promotion. To prevent this, I submitted a petition to the Honorable Minister Kayalvizhi on this same day last year that a special law should be passed as in various states of India. But that injustice has not stopped yet.
On behalf of V.C.C, leader Eruchith Tamil and I discussed this in detail with the high officials of the Tamil Nadu government. We also brought it to the notice of the Hon’ble Chief Minister.
I understand that even now 39 Deputy Directors are being demoted in Agriculture Department and 37 of them are from SC category. If this continues, no one from the SC category will be able to get a higher position. Can’t the Tamil Nadu government stop this?” he asked.

Also, Ravikumar has also posted the photograph and photocopy of the petition submitted to Adi Dravidar Welfare Minister Kayalvizhi on 25.07.2023 at Villupuram.
In it, “Thousands of SC and ST government employees are currently being demoted due to the Supreme Court’s order canceling the roster system followed by the Tamil Nadu government so far for providing reservation in promotion. I request the Tamil Nadu government to enact an Ordinance immediately to protect the position of SC and ST categories.
VCK MP Ravikumar said, “It has been a year since I submitted a petition to Adi Dravidar Welfare Minister Kayalvizhi regarding the demotion of SC government officials and no action has been taken. SC government officials are still being demoted. “Can’t the Tamil Nadu government stop this?” he asked with apprehension.
