Udhayanidhi Stalin's Controversial Remarks Spark Outrage Again

Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin has once again made controversial comments, targeting the central government in his usual style. He expressed strong displeasure over the central government's refusal to release Rs 2190 crore for the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan, a scheme that is supposed to benefit Tamil Nadu. Udhayanidhi accused the central government of withholding funds that were rightfully due to Tamil Nadu.

He remarked, "We are not asking for your father's money. We are simply asking for the funds that are due to us. These are taxes paid by the people of Tamil Nadu. We are not afraid of BJP's threats. They are trying to impose Hindi on Tamil Nadu, and the state's bilingual policy is under threat."

Udhayanidhi also called for opposition parties like AIADMK to join forces with them in fighting against the fascist agenda of the BJP. He claimed that the BJP was attempting to turn the people of Tamil Nadu into second-class citizens. This statement came in response to the recent remarks by Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who had stated that Tamil Nadu would not receive the funds under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan until the state implements the three-language policy under the National Education Policy (NEP).

This is not the first time Udhayanidhi's comments have stirred controversy. His previous remarks on Sanatan Dharma had also caused a significant uproar.
