It's the language imposition claim, a language war that's definitely turning worrisome.
00:05
It's between the leaders in Tamil Nadu and it's between the centre and the state.
00:10
Annamalai is now slamming Vijay of the TVK, who was celebrating the first anniversary of the party as well.
00:16
Annamalai's bro-wi-li-dig at Vijay, BJP chief of Tamil Nadu, is now charging at the new political outfit leader.
00:27
Vijay's kid learnt three languages.
00:30
Asking then why two languages for the kids of the DMK workers?
00:35
So he's making it personal now.
00:37
Here's what Annamalai has said and let's listen to what Vijay also and other leaders are saying on this language issue now.
00:44
Annamalai speaking in Tamil
01:15
What bro? It's very wrong bro.
01:27
Mr. Vijay advised as what bro? Why are you doing this bro?
01:32
In his get out campaign, the very first signatory Mr. Prashant Kishore said I am not signing.
01:37
So there only Prashant Kishore has said get out and he walked out.
01:42
So that is the success of their get out campaign on day one.
01:45
First minute in their campaign headquarters.
01:48
My colleague Anagha is joining me for the latest on that.
01:52
Anagha tell me this at this point, where do you think this is heading?
01:56
This doesn't look like a BJP-DMK war of words but among the leaders in Tamil Nadu itself.
02:05
Well Pooja it was Vijay in it who took up the language issue.
02:09
In fact in his speech he also used a lot of meme references.
02:13
That is where what bro? This is very wrong bro came from.
02:16
That was in fact a meme reference thereby also appealing to a much younger audience.
02:21
By looking at that whole speech in that area one could really see the kind of whole pitch that Vijay is putting forward.
02:28
The first statement that he made was that he opposes Hindi imposition in Tamil Nadu.
02:34
And that if NEP is implemented it would be against the whole principle of federalism.
02:40
Annamalai also hit out at Vijay for his statement that said that Centre and Tamil Nadu were hand in glove with each other.
02:48
While pretending to fight over social media.
02:51
So it was to this statement that Annamalai hit out at Vijay by saying that he is only merely lying.
02:56
And before he preaches he should be practices what he advises.
03:01
He says that Vijay's kids can go to a CBSE school and when they can learn three languages.
03:06
Why should the children of TVK's party workers alone learn two languages?
03:11
You know isn't this hypocrisy is what Annamalai says.
03:14
You know thereby just hitting out at each other taking personal taunts.
03:17
Being you know making a mockery out of the whole system.
03:20
All the leaders cutting across party lines are taking swipes at each other.
03:25
Alright so Anagha will be tracking the latest coming in on this.
03:29
Because this remembers become not only a language issue.
03:32
But clearly right now getting personal as well as much.
03:35
Thank you very much Anagha on that.
