Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Saturday slammed the BJP-led Centre, alleging it halted education funds to the state for its “petty politics”.

Addressing a book release event, Stalin said since Tamil Nadu has not agreed to the three-language policy, the Centre has not released Rs 2,152 crore.

“The BJP-led Centre has halted education funds to Tamil Nadu for its petty politics,” the CM alleged.

Further, Stalin said the state government would for sure approach the Supreme Court challenging non-release of education funds by the Centre.

Like the state’s success in the Governor case, which fixed deadlines for Governor/President over Bills, Tamil Nadu would win in the education funds related matter too, he expressed confidence.
