NEW DELHI: Tamil Nadu BJP chief Okay Annamalai fired again at chief minister MK Stalin after the chief minister introduced that the state was prepared for “another language war”. Stalin known as an all-party assembly on March 5 to debate the Lok Sabha delimitation subject — the “threat” that Tamil Nau was going to lose eight seats as a result of the state efficiently applied the household planning programme resulting in inhabitants management.
Annamalai stated the BJP could not attend the all-party assembly as he believes Stalin was now making an attempt to “shift the narrative” with the “imaginary fear” concerning delimitation. “When TN CM Thiru MK Stalin knows the whole of TN has rejected their argument except a few paint-dabba carrying DMK cadres on the third language for our children studying in TN Govt schools similar to the schools run by TN CM’s family, he now wants to shift the narrative to his imaginary fear of TN losing in the Delimitation of seats,” Annamalai posted on X.
“What a shame & downfall for DMK!” he stated.
“When our Hon PM Thiru @narendramodi avl had clearly said delimitation – if and when it happens – will be favourable to all, including the southern states, why this fear-mongering Thiru @mkstalin? Imaginary fears & stupid arguments have, of late, become TN CM’s arsenal!” Annamalai wrote.

Three-language coverage, delimitation
When Stalin was requested if the March 5 assembly would focus on the three-language coverage in mild of the National Education Policy, Stalin stated that to lift a voice in Parliament on these points, satisfactory variety of MPs was required. “Because, in the name of delimitation, a sword is hanging over southern states,” he stated.
“Tamil Nadu succeeded in population control through the family planning programme. Just because population is less, there is a situation of the Lok Sabha seats being cut down (in TN). We stand to lose 8 seats and as a result, we would be having only 31 MPs, and not the 39 (present number),” he added.
“Our representation (in Parliament) will reduce, Tamil Nadu’s voice is being stifled. This is a matter of Tamil Nadu’s rights. All leaders and political parties should jointly speak across party lines on the issue,” the CM added.
DMK has been opposing the three-language coverage and insisted that the state would proceed with Tamil and English resisting the push for Hindi from the BJP-led NDA authorities.
