Pawan Kalyan, founder of the Janasena Party, a key NDA ally, on Saturday criticised Tamil Nadu leaders for their opposition to Hindi. He asked why Tamil Nadu leaders were opposing Hindi when Tamil films were being dubbed in Hindi for the national audience.
"I do not understand why some criticise Sanskrit. Why do Tamil Nadu politicians oppose Hindi while allowing their movies to be dubbed in Hindi for financial gain? They want labour from Bihar but are opposing hindi. What kind of logic is that?" Kalyan said.
