This marks a significant increase in SC representation compared to previous Cabinets. Political analyst Stalin Rajangam believes this is a positive step towards inclusivity and sets a benchmark for future governments. However, Punitha Pandiyan, former Vice President of the Tamil Nadu SC/ST Commission, argues that celebrating this development trivializes SC politics.
