Tamil Nadu BJP President K. Annamalai sharply criticized the hypocrisy of the DMK and its allies, particularly pointing out the inconsistency regarding their stance on the three-language policy in schools. Annamalai highlighted that the DMK, along with its ally Thirumalavalan, leader of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), has opposed government school students learning a third language but being a member of the board of directors at Blue Star Secondary School, a CBSE-affiliated school in Velachery, Chennai, which teaches trilingual education.

In a recent social media post on 20 February 2025, Annamalai questioned Thirumalavalan’s actions, stating, “I had hoped brother Thirumalavalan wouldn’t be like DMK playing a double game by aligning with the DMK. Unfortunately, I’m disappointed. Brother Thirumalavalan is the chairman of the board at Blue Star Secondary School, Velachery, Chennai which follows the CBSE curriculum. Why is it that those who argue against offering trilingual education to the poor and underprivileged students in government schools are somehow linked with private schools that do offer trilingual education?”

Through this post, Annamalai exposed the clear contradiction in the stance taken by the DMK and its allies regarding the education policy, accusing them of double standards.

Previously, Tamil Nadu BJP President K. Annamalai recently exposed the hypocrisy of actor-turned-politician C. Joseph Vijay, also known as TVK leader, for his contradictory stance on the three-language policy. Vijay, who has been vocal against the policy and its implementation, operates a CBSE school in Chennai that follows the very same policy he publicly condemns.

On 16 February 2025, Vijay criticized the Central Government’s National Education Policy (NEP) for imposing the three-language policy, claiming it undermines the autonomy of states. He said, “Enforcing the three-language policy is nothing but an attempt to strip states of their autonomy.”

Further, in November 2024, his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), reaffirmed its opposition to the three-language policy, stating that the Union Government’s efforts to enforce it in Tamil Nadu would never succeed. The party insisted on the two-language policy for the state, emphasizing Tamil and English as the official languages. Vijay also reiterated this position during the party’s first state conference in October 2024.

However, Annamalai revealed the hypocrisy behind Vijay’s public stance. It has now come to light that Vijay operates a CBSE school in Chennai, Vijay Vidyashram, which follows the three-language policy. The school, located in Padur, offers English as the primary language, with options for a second language like Tamil, Hindi, or French, and requires students to study a third language until Class 8. This directly contradicts his opposition to the policy.

Annamalai pointed out that the land on which Vijay Vidyashram is built belongs to C. Joseph Vijay, who leased it to the school for 35 years (2017–2052) under a trust registered in the name of Vijay’s father, SA Chandrasekhar. Annamalai questioned how Vijay, a vocal critic of the three-language policy, could run a school that enforces it.

This exposed contradiction highlights Vijay’s hypocrisy, as he claims to advocate for the Tamil language while running an institution that implements the very language policy, he opposes also celebrates Hindi.
