**BJP Legislator in Puducherry Threatens Agitation Over Alleged Social Injustice and Government Inaction**

**PUDUCHERRY – October 6, 2025** – Sai J. Saravanan Kumar, a BJP legislator representing the reserved Ossudu constituency in Puducherry, has publicly criticized the leadership of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government in the Union Territory, threatening to launch an agitation if corrective measures are not taken within 15 days.

Speaking to reporters at the Assembly on Monday, Kumar, who previously resigned from the cabinet in June following a party directive related to Ministerial berth sharing, expressed his dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs. He claimed that the BJP leadership in Puducherry is undermining the concept of social justice, pointing out the lack of Scheduled Caste (SC) representation in the cabinet.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made a tribal woman President of the country. Mr. Modi is in favour of social justice but BJP leadership in Puducherry is against the concept,” Kumar stated. He also criticized the Lieutenant Governor for failing to intervene on the matter.

Kumar highlighted that after his resignation, he had advocated for the inclusion of another SC legislator in the cabinet, but A. John Kumar was ultimately chosen. He further noted that the previous SC representative, AINRC legislator Chandira Priyanga, was removed from the cabinet two years ago and was not replaced by another member from the SC community.

The BJP MLA also took aim at Home and Education Minister A. Namassivayam, alleging a breakdown of law and order in Puducherry, citing recent murders. He further criticized the Education Department for operating without a director for several months.

Kumar’s public criticism underscores potential internal rifts within the ruling NDA coalition in Puducherry and raises questions about the government’s commitment to social justice and effective governance. The next two weeks will be crucial in determining whether the NDA leadership addresses Kumar’s concerns and averts potential political instability.
