India Today  

Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Thangam Thenarasu reaffirmed the state’s commitment to its two-language policy, declaring that it would not compromise on the principle even if it meant losing Rs 2,000 crore in central funding. Speaking during the Budget session, Thenarasu asserted that Tamil Nadu would stand firm in protecting its self-respect and would not yield to pressure from the Union Government.

The Tamil Nadu government has long opposed the three-language formula promoted by the Union Government, arguing that the two-language system, comprising Tamil and English, is sufficient for educational and professional growth.
