The BJP in Tamil Nadu has decided to push for the three-language policy with a door-to-door campaign, escalating the ongoing row over what the ruling DMK has called the "imposition" of Hindi. The campaign will begin from March 1, the BJP has said, asserting that the DMK's opposition to the Centre's three-language policy is a direct violation of the Constitutional principles.
The Centre's three-language policy has never been accepted in Tamil Nadu since the days of former Chief Minister CN Annadurai. The state has been following a two-language policy, teaching Tamil and English in schools..
