Union minister HDK signs up for Hindi lessons

Hindustan Times

February 08, 2025

Union minister and former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy has blocked off his weekday mornings for about 90 minutes. Since November, the Janata Dal Secular leader and key National Democratic Alliance(NDA) partner spends that time with his Hindi tutor online so that along with reading and writing he can do what politicians really need to do -converse in Hindi.

Union minister HDK signs up for Hindi lessons

"It's very difficult otherwise," said Kumaraswamy, when HT asked him why. "Everybody in North India speaks in Hindi, most MPs speak in Hindi, my officials speak in Hindi, and even in Cabinet, they speak a lot in Hindi. So I have to learn, there's no other way." It's not the first time that Kumaraswamy is spending so much time in Delhi. He has been a member of parliament twice before. But, when the NDA came back to power in June last year, Kumaraswamy became a cabinet minister at the Centre for the first time and by his own admission, became "a lot more active in Delhi."
