Language row: Stalin labels UP CM Adityanath ‘darkest political black comedy’
Adityanath had disparaged the Tamil Nadu chief minister in an interview, saying, "When they feel their vote bank is at risk, they try to create divisions"
Tamil Nadu chief minister M.K. Stalin on Thursday, 27 March, lashed out at his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Yogi Adityanath on the language row, dubbing his remarks as "political black comedy" and said his state was not opposing a language, but its "imposition and chauvinism".
He claimed Tamil Nadu's fair and firm voice on the two-language policy and fair delimitation "is echoing nationwide—and the BJP is clearly rattled".
"And now Hon'ble Yogi Adityanath wants to lecture us on hate? Spare us. This isn’t irony — it's political black comedy at its darkest," Stalin said in a post on X.
"We don't oppose any language; we oppose imposition and chauvinism.
"This isn't riot-for-votes politics. This is a battle for dignity and justice," he added.
Stalin was reacting to Yogi’s reported allegations that the DMK government was indulging in divisive tactics by using language issue.
