The Tamil Nadu government is set to introduce a bill to ban Hindi hoardings and Hindi-language films across the state. Chief Minister MK Stalin is expected to present the bill in the assembly today, marking the government’s move to prohibit the use of Hindi in public displays and cinema.

Tensions Between DMK And BJP Over Language Policy

The move comes amid ongoing tensions between the DMK and the BJP, with the ruling party in Tamil Nadu accusing the BJP-led central government of attempting to impose Hindi through the National Education Policy (NEP) and the three-language formula, an allegation the Union government has consistently denied.

AIADMK Criticises DMK Over Foxconn Investment Claims

Meanwhile, All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) national spokesperson Kovai Sathyan on Wednesday criticised the Tamil Nadu government led by MK Stalin over claims of a Rs 15,000 crore investment by Foxconn, calling the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) a party that “survives only on lies.”

Sathyan claimed that Foxconn had denied the Tamil Nadu government’s statements regarding the investment.

“DMK is a party that survives only on lies. All their achievements are nothing but falsehoods. The Rs 15,000 crore Foxconn investment, as claimed by Industry Minister TRB Raja, has been refuted by Foxconn. It is shameful. M.K. Stalin and his minister should hang their heads in shame for misleading the people of Tamil Nadu,” Sathyan said in a video.

He added that it was time for voters to reject the DMK in the upcoming 2026 Tamil Nadu assembly elections.

“Yesterday’s claim clearly shows the incompetence of this government and the lengths it will go to mislead people. The DMK and its cabinet stand exposed. The time has come to show them the door, which will happen in 2026,” he said.

AIADMK Criticises ‘Stalin Model’ And Foreign Trips

The AIADMK also labelled the DMK government as “built entirely on lies,” accusing it of making false claims regarding Foxconn’s investment and mocking Stalin’s so-called “Stalin model.” The opposition criticised the government’s foreign trips, questioning the benefits for the state.

The party pointed out that while the DMK announced that Foxconn had met Chief Minister Stalin and planned to invest Rs 15,000 crore, the company later denied any such discussions.

This criticism came after Foxconn clarified that its India representative had met CM Stalin, but no new investment was discussed.
