I wish a joyful #Ugadi to all my Telugu and Kannada speaking Dravidian sisters and brothers as you welcome the New Year with hope and celebration.
In the face of growing linguistic and political threats like #HindiImposition and #Delimitation, the need for southern unity has never been greater. We must come together and defeat every attempt to undermine our rights and identity.
May this Ugadi kindle the spirit of resistance and solidarity that binds us together.
అందరికీ ఉగాది శుభాకాంక్షలు! ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಯುಗಾದಿ ಹಬ್ಬದ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು! #HappyUgadi
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin extended warm Ugadi greetings to Telugu and Kannada-speaking citizens across the southern states, framing the festival as a moment to reinforce shared Dravidian brotherhood and regional solidarity. Welcoming the traditional New Year with messages of shared hope, Stalin stressed that cultural celebrations should deepen bonds between linguistic communities across state borders.
Stalin observed that southern states face mounting political and cultural challenges, specifically pointing to central Hindi imposition and the impending parliamentary delimitation exercise. He warned that arbitrary delimitation formulas risk diminishing the South's constitutional representation and political influence in Parliament despite decades of exemplary socio-economic contributions across health and education. Stalin underscored that preserving federal democracy requires southern states to present a cohesive front, resisting unilateral policies that threaten their cultural identities and fiscal rights.
The Chief Minister called upon democratic and regional forces to transform festive camaraderie into enduring political solidarity. He affirmed that collective resolve remains essential to safeguard state autonomy, linguistic diversity, and equitable democratic governance across India. Stalin expressed confidence that this Ugadi will inspire renewed unity and mutual cooperation among southern peoples.
