Chief minister yogi adityanath of Uttar Pradesh was criticized by tamil Nadu chief minister MK stalin on thursday for his comments regarding the state's stance on delimitation and the three-language policy, calling it "political black comedy at its darkest." Stalin's comments followed Adityanath's accusation in an interview with news agency ANI that the DMK leader was attempting to incite linguistic and regional tensions.
And now Hon. yogi adityanath wishes to give us a hate speech? Don't hurt us. This is political black comedy at its harshest, not irony," he added.
The chief minister of tamil Nadu explained that his party opposes chauvinism and linguistic imposition but does not oppose any language. "This isn't politics of rioting for votes. "This is a fight for justice and dignity," stalin wrote.
Following continuous disputes over the proposed three-language policy and the division of parliamentary constituencies, there is now a war of words.
"They are attempting to sow divisions based on language and geography rather than bringing the nation together. The chief minister of Uttar Pradesh had stated in the interview that "such politics weaken the nation." He brushed off Stalin's delimitation worries as a "political agenda" as well.
The DMK has long argued that the BJP's attempts to make hindi the country's primary language endanger India's linguistic diversity. Stalin has also expressed worries that southern states that have effectively controlled population expansion may have less political representation as a result of delimitation.
