TVK MLA, functionary trespass into government schools in Dharmapuri
A Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) MLA and party functionary have been accused of trespassing into government schools in Dharmapuri for unauthorized inspections. Despite a government directive banning political interference in schools, officials have yet to take concrete action against the party members.
Why it matters
This highlights growing concerns over political encroachment into educational spaces and the potential lack of accountability for ruling or influential political parties.
A Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) MLA and a functionary in Dharmapuri trespassed into schools for ‘inspections’, despite School Education Minister A. Rajmohan forbidding political parties and private organisations entering schools or having direct interaction with the students.
In Pennagaram, TVK MLA S. Gajendran posted a reel of an ‘inspection’ carried out at the Government Boys Higher Secondary School, where he is seen counselling students.
In Dharmapuri town, TVK town secretary Vijaykumar was welcomed into the school by the headmistress and was provided with an audience of students. Mr. Vijaykumar is also seen distributing school ID cards and addressing students marking the birth anniversary of the former Chief Minister K. Kamaraj.
