Chennai: Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan waded into the ongoing language debate, accusing Tamil Nadu of hypocrisy in its stance on Hindi. Speaking at his party’s foundation day, Kalyan pointed out that while Tamil Nadu opposes the imposition of Hindi, it allows Tamil movies to be dubbed in Hindi for financial gains.

“In Tamil Nadu, people oppose the imposition of Hindi. This makes me wonder—if they don’t want Hindi, then why do they dub Tamil films in Hindi for financial gains? They want money from Bollywood but refuse to accept Hindi. What kind of logic is that?” Kalyan said.

He further criticized the state for welcoming migrant laborers from Hindi-speaking states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar while rejecting the language itself. “They want revenue from Hindi-speaking states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Chhattisgarh, yet they say they don’t want Hindi. Isn’t that unfair? They welcome workers from Bihar but reject the language. Why this contradiction? Shouldn’t this mindset change?” he asked.

Kalyan’s remarks come amid a heated political battle between the BJP-led Centre and the DMK-ruled Tamil Nadu over the ‘three-language formula’ under the New Education Policy (NEP). The Centre recently withheld ₹2,152 crore meant for Tamil Nadu’s Samagra Shiksha scheme, citing the state’s refusal to implement NEP.

Responding to Kalyan, senior DMK leader TKS Elangovan defended Tamil Nadu’s long-standing two-language policy of Tamil and English. “We have been opposing Hindi since 1938. The state assembly passed a bill in 1968 to follow a two-language formula, long before Pawan Kalyan was even born. He doesn’t understand Tamil Nadu’s politics,” Elangovan said.
