State govt will stick to its two-language policy
The DMK-led Tamil Nadu government on Friday tabled the state Budget for 2025-26 (FY26), targeting a narrower fiscal deficit of 3 per cent of state GDP in the upcoming financial year despite increased allocations for welfare schemes, a 22 per cent jump in capex and outlays for industrial parks for semiconductors and non-leather footwear. The last Budget of the ruling DMK before it faces state polls next year comes amid language row and the state's decision to replace the rupee symbol from the budget logo with the Tamil letter of 'Ru'.
While tabling it, Finance Minister (FM) Thangam Thennarasu said that his government sticks to its two-language policy despite the challenging situation. He also announced a language museum in Madurai.
