Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Thursday lashed out at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, calling his remarks on hate and division "political black comedy at its darkest."
Responding to Adityanath’s statement in an interview with ANI, where he accused Stalin of creating divisions based on region and language, the Tamil Nadu CM said that BJP had been "rattled" by Tamil Nadu’s firm stance on the two-language policy and fair delimitation.
Stalin has also strongly opposed the implementation of the three-language formula under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020."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 posted on social media.
Stalin reiterated that Tamil Nadu’s opposition is against "language imposition" and "chauvinism," not any specific language, emphasizing that the issue is a fight for dignity and justice.

Mysuru (Karnataka) (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday asserted that the Congress government would complete its five-year term, while sidestepping questions on whether he personally would remain in office for the full duration.
Addressing reporters here, he maintained that decisions on the leadership would rest with the party high command and refrained from giving a direct answer on his own tenure.
“Our party will complete five years,” Siddaramaiah said, when asked if he would complete a full term as Chief Minister.
On the issue of leadership, he reiterated that the final call would be taken by the party leadership, saying, “The high command will decide. There’s no point asking the same thing again.”
Indicating his readiness to travel to the national capital if required, he said, “If I am called to Delhi, I will go,” adding that he would seek an appointment with Rahul Gandhi if needed.
The talks on leadership change have intensified in the power corridor of the state where claims were made that Siddaramaiah would make way for his Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.
The Chief Minister also underlined that recent by-election victories in Bagalkote and Davanagere South assembly segment reflected public support for the government, stating that this clearly shows that people have appreciated the Congress government and its programmes.
The CM also dismissed the opposition’s claims, alleging they lacked strategy, and said local body elections would be conducted as per rules.
