Is the BJP making an all-round non-stop attack on the Jagan Reddy Circar in AP? The answer may be yes going by the anti-YCP decisions taken by Modi Regime in the last one week. First, PM Modi specially greeted YCP MP Raghurama Krishnam Raju in Parliament premises. He did that just a day after CM Jagan imposed restrictions on YCP MPs movements in Delhi. Later, the Centre updated the Political Map of India recognising Amaravati as AP Capital City much to YCP embarrassment.
Now, Modi’s Man Ki Bath speech dwelt at length on the importance of Mother Tongue for any people and state. Modi asserted that nobody can achieve progress or development without full command in Mother Tongue. Any amount of development would be a mere waste if Mother Tongue is neglected.
Modi highlighted specifically why the United Nations Organisation announced 2019 as the year of indigenous languages. Modi heaped praise on the people of Tharchoor in Uttar Pradesh for their hard efforts to protect their Mother Tongue. PM’s comments came like pointed at AP Circar which has introduced English Medium in place of Telugu in government schools. The TDP also raised the issue in Lok Sabha and wanted the Centre to protect Telugu in AP.
