Move signals 'dangerous mindset': Sitharaman
Escalating the language row between Tamil Nadu and the central government, the state on Thursday removed the official rupee symbol in Devanagari and replaced it with the Tamil letter "ru" from "rupai" for its Budget logo for 2025-26.
Chief Minister M K Stalin released the new logo on the X platform in a pre-Budget video posted with the caption: "Ensuring widespread development of Tamil Nadu to benefit all sections of society."
This comes at a time when the Centre and Tamil Nadu are at loggerheads over the three-language policy introduced by the BJP-led central government, which the DMK calls an imposition of Hindi on the Tamil public. The state had also opposed the National Education Policy (NEP), which advocates the three-language policy. The state Budget is scheduled to be presented on Friday.
