Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Thursday slammed Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath over his remarks on the state’s stand on delimitation and the three-language policy. Stalin described Yogi Adityanath’s comments as “political black comedy at its darkest.”
Adityanath, in an interview with ANI, alleged that Stalin was trying to create divisions based on region and language.
Stalin defended Tamil Nadu’s long-standing opposition to Hindi imposition in a post on X. He also defended the demand for a fair parliamentary seat delimitation process. He said the state’s “fair and firm voice” on the Two-Language Policy and delimitation was gaining momentum across the country.
“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,” he wrote.
He also clarified that his party does not oppose any language. He maintained that his party resists linguistic imposition and chauvinism. “This isn’t riot-for-vote politics. This is a battle for dignity and justice,” Stalin wrote.
“Instead of uniting the country, they are trying to create fissures based on language and region. Such politics weakens the nation,” Adityanath had told ANI. He also dismissed Stalin’s concerns about delimitation.
