JD(U) President and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s recent statement advocating for the use of only Hindi within the INDIA alliance has caused a stir among political circles. DMK leader TR Baalu, after holding seat sharing talks with Congress leaders in Chennai, expressed his views on Nitish Kumar’s departure from the INDIA bloc. Baalu stated that Nitish Kumar’s push for Hindi was tolerated by the party for the sake of cordiality within the alliance, but he did not provide any specific plans for the bloc. Baalu further questioned the Bihar Chief Minister’s claim that nothing worked as per his plan within the INDIA bloc, emphasizing that Nitish Kumar’s only focus was on the use of Hindi. Despite this compromise, Baalu assured that the alliance remained strong. However, DMK organising secretary RS Bharathi expressed doubts about Nitish Kumar’s commitment to the BJP alliance and questioned his future actions. Bharathi also criticized the Bihar Chief Minister’s wavering stance, stating that his image among the people has suffered as a result. Bharathi credited DMK President and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin for initiating efforts to unite opposition parties to counter the BJP at the national level. Meanwhile, the DMK spokesperson J Constandine Ravindran highlighted Nitish Kumar’s exit from the INDIA bloc as a loss for the BJP and a gain for the opposition alliance. The DMK leader expressed confidence that the success achieved in Uttar Pradesh would be replicated in other parts of the country. Overall, Nitish Kumar’s stance on Hindi has sparked debates and uncertainties within the INDIA alliance.
