The Tamil Nadu BJP on Sunday hit back at Chief Minister MK Stalin for his comment regarding the "arrogance" of the Saffron-party led government at the Centre for naming schemes in Hindi, asserting that Hindi is the country's official language.

Responding to Stalin's question about how individuals branded as corrupt suddenly become clean after joining the Bharatiya Janata Party alliance, the BJP highlighted that the former minister, V Senthil Balaji, allegedly involved in the cash-for-jobs scam, remains in the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, suggesting the Chief Minister should address the question to himself.

Narayanan Thirupathy, chief spokesperson of the Tamil Nadu BJP, confirmed in a social media post that he had answered the detailed questions posed by Stalin.

"What kind of arrogance is it to name all major national schemes and laws only in Hindi & Sanskrit?" Thirupathy responded: "If you are asking this question without knowing that the nation’s official language is Hindi, then it’s your ignorance. Knowingly, if you ask, then it’s your arrogance."

In response to Stalin asking why Union Ministers were limiting children by "spreading unscientific superstitions?", Thirupathy counter-questioned: "Why is that the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister spitting venom on the majority people’s beliefs by ridiculing Hindu Religion/ Sanatan Dharma? Is that for want of Minority votes? If yes, is it not shameful?"

Regarding Stalin’s criticism of the BJP for backing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, which he claimed led to people’s votes being removed and resulted in vote theft, Thirupathy heavily criticised the DMK. The BJP leader alleged: "It is the DMK that indulged not only in vote theft by adding duplicate votes, removing original voters but booth capturing, cash for votes formula, resorting in filthy abuse of other party men, violence in booths and many other misdeeds just to grab the election results so as to be in power."

Addressing the Chief Minister’s query, "what are you trying to achieve by using Governors to create confusion in opposition ruled states?" Thirupathy retorted: "What were you trying to achieve by seeing the Governor often when you were in opposition? Why should we not achieve what you wanted to achieve?"

To the Chief Minister’s question, "why are you not recognising the archaeological findings from Keeladi, that establish the antiquity of Iron in Tamil culture," Thirupathy claimed the query proved Stalin's ignorance. He said: "This proves your ignorance in Archaeology and lack of knowledge in its methodology. While no one can deny the Tamil Culture and antiquity, there is a system that is followed worldwide & particularly by ASI in disclosing or declaring on findings. The first two phases of keezhadi report was recognised and approved by the ASI, it is you in the name Dravida model trying to politicise the issue."

Finally, on Stalin asking whether there would be answers to all his questions or, as usual, would the BJP "start spreading propaganda through WhatsApp university?", Thirupathy wondered if more answers were needed. "Do you need more answers than these? Were you not the one to spread false propaganda on WhatsApp university on the investments that were not promised by Foxconn as happened?" he concluded.
