CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The Tamil Nadu Budget speech turned into a political battleground as DMK leaders launched sharp attacks against the BJP-led central government over the ongoing Hindi language controversy. Accusing the Centre of neglect and discrimination, Tamil Nadu’s Finance Minister slammed the ruling party, alleging that the state has been “cheated” in terms of financial allocations and policy decisions.
The DMK has been vocal about its opposition to the imposition of Hindi, maintaining that it threatens Tamil linguistic and cultural identity. During the budget session, heated debates erupted over the Centre’s alleged bias towards Hindi-speaking states, with leaders criticizing BJP’s governance approach. The ruling party in Tamil Nadu reiterated its stance against any attempts to enforce Hindi in non-Hindi-speaking regions.
This latest confrontation is part of a long-standing political rivalry between the DMK and BJP, which has intensified ahead of the upcoming elections. Tamil Nadu’s government has consistently pushed for federalism and linguistic autonomy, rejecting any move that sidelines regional languages. The BJP, on the other hand, argues that its policies promote national unity without undermining regional diversity.
The budget speech not only addressed financial allocations but also became a platform for political messaging, further fueling the DMK-BJP rivalry. As Tamil Nadu remains firm in its linguistic and cultural stance, the Hindi row continues to be a major point of contention in national politics.
