Tamil Nadu BJP President Annamalai criticized the DMK’s attempt to maintain its old anti-Hindi stance, despite the Tamil Nadu BJP exposing the party’s hypocrisy. He pointed out that many DMK leaders, who had been rallying against the imposition of Hindi, actually own schools that follow the CBSE curriculum, where Hindi is taught. Despite these revelations, some of the DMK’s cadres have continued to deface Hindi words on the boards of central government offices and buildings.
Annamalai took to his official X account to express his frustration, saying, “Had seen a few misguided individuals roaming around with a can of black paint, striking Hindi Letters in opposition to the three-language formula in the New National Education Policy. We would humbly suggest that they visit the Enforcement Directorate and Income Tax Office with the same can of black paint. They can check for the addresses of these offices from the corrupt DMK Ministers as they frequently visit these places. The DMK party is a bunch of confused nincompoops who have different standards for their families and others. They either run CBSE/Matriculation schools, which offer an option of 3 languages or ensure that their children/grandchildren are enrolled in such schools. After securing their children’s future, they go around spreading fallacies and propaganda against the three-language policy; irony of things.
We strongly recommend that Thiru @mkstalin not hide behind the imaginary Hindi Imposition and answer these questions.
- While the DMK ministers to councillors enrol their children in private schools where 3 languages or more are taught, why is it deprived of students studying in government schools?
- Why are Hindi, other Indian Languages, and International Languages taught to students in the CBSE/ Matriculation schools run by DMK leaders? Why is the right to learn a third language refused only for students studying in government schools? Is the right to learn an additional language a privilege only for those who can afford it?
- Our Hon. Minister, Thiru @dpradhanbjp avl, has clarified many times that the three-language policy does not mandate Hindi as the third language and is only an optional third language among many other languages. The same is proposed in the National Education Policy 2020. Why is the DMK deliberately confusing people?
- Over 25 languages are defined as Dravidian languages. Having named your party the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, why is the State Government opposed to Government school students learning a third language such as Kannada, Telugu, and Malayalam?
- Did your party founder, Thiru Annadurai, not say that Tamil Nadu is willing to adopt Three language formula if other states also adopt it?
The people of Tamil Nadu deserve transparency, not hypocrisy. Will Thiru @mkstalin dare to answer these questions, or will he continue to hide behind false narratives? Thiru@mkstalin should also bring his I.N.D.I. Alliance partners to TN and give them also a box of black paint.”

This comes in the wake of DMK cadres defacing Hindi words on the boards of central government offices and buildings at locations including Sankarankoil, Pollachi, and Palayamkottai railway stations, as well as on the boards and banners at the Parangi Malai post office and BSNL office.
