CHENNAI:

Slamming the Bharatiya Janata Party amid a row over the "three-language policy" in schools under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Stalin said, "I released the budget logo. We had the 'Ru' to show how determined we are in the language policy. But those who don't like Tamil made it a big news."
