Stalin Escalates Attack on Centre With 10 Questions on Federalism, Culture and Elections

Stalin's questions on X escalate Tamil Nadu's campaign over alleged federal bias after the Finance Minister's Assembly charges.

Overview

On October 18, the Tamil Nadu chief minister used X to pose 10 questions accusing the BJP-led Union government of political discrimination and erosion of federal norms.
He alleged the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls enables vote theft to benefit the BJP.
He challenged what he called linguistic hegemony in naming national schemes in Hindi and Sanskrit and criticised Union ministers for promoting unscientific superstitions.
He accused the BJP of misusing Governors to obstruct opposition-ruled states and questioned reluctance to acknowledge Keeladi-linked findings on Tamil antiquity.
The post followed Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu’s Assembly claims of withheld funds and denied projects for Tamil Nadu, and no official response from the Union government was reported.
