Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], March 13 (ANI): Tamil Nadu BJP Vice President Narayanan Thirupathy hit out at the Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin for replacing the Rupee Symbol for the Indian currency with Tamil alphabet ‘Ru’ for the state budget logo and termed it as a ‘childish, foolish and nonsense act’.
The BJP Vice President further stated that it was a sad situation when the Rupee note itself was designed by a Tamilian DMK MLA which was well honoured and praised by late M Karunanidhi (MK Stalin’s father) and yet has been replaced by his son.
Speaking to ANI, Thirupathy said “This is a childish act by MK Stalin, it is foolish and nonsense… the Rupee note was designed by Tamilian who was a DMK MLA and it was praised and well honoured by late M Karunaidhi and now his son suddenly comes and says that they will not accept it….”
Targeting DMK, Thirupathy said that the double standards of the party reflected through this act further stating that they had stooped below unnecessarily.
“From this we can understand the double standards of DMK… they are trying to draw lot of issues but they will fail anyways, the level they have stooped to is unnecessary… I don’t know who gave this idea to Stalin. He will definitely regret this…” he further stated.
The BJP Vice President also took to social media X and stated that it was immature of the Tamil Nadu CM to do this and would only make people laugh at his silly attitude.
“The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister has proved that he would stoop down to any level to hide the failures of his government in the last 4 years, by replacing ‘Rs’ symbol that has been accepted not only in India but throughout the world by ‘Ru’ in his recent tweet in lieu of the State’s budget,” he posted.
“It is not only laughable but also childish and immature to do this and people would laugh at this silly attitude. It is time people say Good Bye to DMK. It is interesting to note that the ‘Rs’ symbol was designed in 2010 by a Thamizhan and that too a son of former DMK worker during the UPA rule,” the post read,” he added.
Notably, the previous budget logo for the Budget of 2024 -25 carried the Indian currency symbol Rs. The budget 2025-26 is set to be presented in the Tamil Nadu assembly on March 14.
The Tamil Nadu Chief minister earlier released a video which showcased the logo for the Budget of 2025-26 and in this logo the national currency symbol had been substituted with the Tamil Alphabet ‘Ru’. (ANI)
