Udhayanidhi Stalin Accuses AIADMK of Betraying Tamil People
Tamil Nadu's Deputy Chief Minister, Udhayanidhi Stalin, is upset with Edappadi K Palaniswami from the AIADMK party.
Stalin says Palaniswami is working with the BJP, which he believes is bad for Tamil people.
He says this is a fight to protect Tamil culture and language, especially against the idea of making Hindi a required language in schools.
Stalin also claims the BJP isn't helping Tamil Nadu with money for education, unlike other states.
The AIADMK and BJP used to work together but split up before the last election, and then got back together again recently.
Udhayanidhi Stalin accused Edappadi K Palaniswami of betraying Tamil people by aligning with BJP.
Stalin framed the upcoming election as a battle to protect Tamil identity.
He criticized the BJP for allegedly not supporting Tamil Nadu's education sector financially.
The DMK has opposed the 'imposition' of Hindi through the National Education Policy.
The AIADMK and BJP, previously allies, broke up in 2023 but revived ties in April 2024.
