‘Even Nirmala Sitharaman Has Used Tamil Rupee Symbol’: Stalin Slams Centre For Ignoring Pleas For Funds

ABP News  

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK President MK Stalin on Sunday defended the state government's decision to replace the Indian rupee symbol with the Tamil letter in the Budget logo for 2025-26, asserting that it reflected the party’s strong stance on language policy. He also took a swipe at Sitharaman, alleging that she responded to the rupee symbol issue but remained silent on Tamil Nadu’s requests for central funds. The Tamil Nadu government had earlier explained that the replacement of the rupee symbol with ‘Ru’, the first letter of ‘Rubaai’, was aimed at reinforcing the state’s linguistic identity. The controversy over the Tamil Rupee symbol comes amid ongoing tensions between the DMK-led Tamil Nadu government and the BJP-led Union government over language policies.
