BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya has accused Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin of playing politics over the three-language formula under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. He claimed that despite the DMK government’s public opposition to the policy, Tamil Nadu ministers had urged the Centre to release funds under the Samagra Shiksha scheme. The exchange of barbs comes amid a heated war of words between DMK-led Tamil Nadu government and the BJP-led Central government over the NEP. The policy, introduced in 2020, aims to overhaul the country’s education system and includes a recommendation for a three- language model. While the policy does not mandate any particular language, it suggests that at least two of the three languages should be \”native to India.\” Chief Minister Stalin has argued that it is an attempt by the Centre. to impose Hindi on non-Hindi-speaking states, a claim the Union government has repeatedly denied. He has cited multiple reasons, including concerns over federal over-reach and the potential dilution of Tamil language and culture.
