Vaiko, representing the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK), highlighted a recent meeting where Tamil Nadu's Education Minister sought funds under the PM Schools for Rising India scheme but faced conditions tied to the National Education Policy (NEP) advocating a three-language formula. While Tamil Nadu parties, except the BJP, oppose this policy, Vaiko emphasized their support for English as a vital tool for progress, citing the state's dominance in various sectors due to English proficiency. Pradhan, meanwhile, criticized the DMK government for fostering a "fear psychosis" around the three-language formula, asserting that multilingualism is essential in a democratic society and that opposition to the NEP is politically motivated.

Published: Mar 12 2025, 1 pmeznews.inRahul Gandhi has challenged the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), asserting that the Congress will defeat them in the 2027 Gujarat assembly elections. Speaking to Congress workers, he acknowledged the significant challenges ahead, including internal divisions, alleging that some party members are colluding with the BJP. With the Congress out of power for 30 years, he described the party's revival as a "50-year project" and emphasized the need to remove ineffective leaders. The Congress faced a severe setback in the 2022 elections, winning only 17 seats, a dramatic decline from 77 in 2017. To improve its prospects, analysts suggest the party must introspect on leadership, identify committed local leaders, and engage urban voters, where it currently lags behind the BJP. Without these strategic changes, the Congress faces a daunting task in reclaiming its position in Gujarat, a state dominated by the BJP.

Opposition parties, including the BJP and JD(S), have accused the Congress of misusing taxpayers' money, prompting protests outside the Vidhana Soudha. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar defended the appointments, asserting that party workers who aided in bringing the government to power have a right to participate in overseeing state programs.
