Chennai, 13 March (H.S.) : In a recent development, Tamilisai Soundararajan, former Governor of Telangana and a prominent BJP leader, has raised questions about the timing of the DMK government’s decision to replace the Indian rupee symbol with a Tamil letter in the state budget logo.

Soundararajan’s comments come amid a heated debate over language policies and the DMK government’s opposition to the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The move to replace the rupee symbol has been seen as a bid to promote Tamil language and culture.

However, Soundararajan has expressed concerns about the timing of the decision, suggesting that it may be a diversionary tactic to shift attention away from more pressing issues facing the state.

The development has sparked a war of words between the BJP and the DMK, with the latter defending its decision as a move to promote Tamil language and culture. The controversy is likely to escalate in the coming days, with both parties dug in on their respective positions.
