Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai criticized the DMK for replacing the rupee symbol with the Tamil letter 'Ru' in the state's budget material. He called the move "stupid," pointing out that the rupee symbol was designed by Tamilian Udaya Kumar, son of a former DMK MLA. The DMK defended its decision, stating it aims to promote Tamil. Annamalai accused the party of fueling a "language war" against the Centre. The DMK insists the change is legal and reflects Tamil pride. The BJP leader’s remarks have intensified Tamil Nadu’s ongoing language debate.
