Over three-language policy, DMK and BJP witnessed another crossfire after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath targeted Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin while terming his approach on the issue as “narrow politics.”
Adityanath clearly stated that the move by the Tamil Nadu CM will keep the people of his state away from Hindi job options.
While talking to news agency PTI, without taking Stalin’s name, Adityanath said Uttar Pradesh is teaching all languages like Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, Bengali, and Marathi. “Is UP becoming smaller due to this?” he questioned. He said those who are making “language issues” are hampering employment opportunities for the people of the state.
On the other hand, Stalin reacted to Adityanth’s remarks, stating that he was not against the language, but deliberately “imposing” it on the state.
MK Stalin wrote on X, “Tamil Nadu’s fair and firm voice on #TwoLanguagePolicy and #FairDelimitation is echoing nationwide—and the BJP is rattled. Just watch their leaders’ interviews. And now Hon’ble Yogi Adityanath wants to lecture us on hate? Spare us. This isn’t irony—it’s political black comedy at its darkest. We don’t oppose any language; we oppose imposition and chauvinism. This isn’t riot-for-votes politics. This is a battle for dignity and justice.”
Tamil Nadu’s fair and firm voice on #TwoLanguagePolicy and #FairDelimitation is echoing nationwide—and the BJP is clearly rattled. Just watch their leaders’ interviews.

Tamil Nadu BJP chief Annamalai hit out at Stalin that schools owned by Stalin’s family members allowed three language police but the Stalin government is adopting two language policy for the government school students.
Why Are the Tamil Nadu Government and Centre in Crossfire?
The Tamil Nadu government has been alleging that the Centre deliberately wants to “impose” Hindi in Tamil Nadu. On the other hand, the Centre refuted the Tamil Nadu government’s claims. The Tamil Nadu government also rejected the Centre’s New Education Policy.
Politics Over Language
The ongoing tussle between the BJP and DMK over three-language policy, delimitation will continue till the assembly elections, which are scheduled to take place in 2026. More showdown is expected from assembly to ground and in Parliament in the days to come.
