Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu waded into the language row on Tuesday as he highlighted the instance of former prime minister PV Narsimha Rao who learnt 17 languages.
At an occasion, Naidu mentioned, “Proper now we're saying ‘why ought to we be taught Hindi?' He (Rao) learnt 17 languages. He did not simply be taught Hindi, he mastered many languages and that's how he grew to become an ideal man.”
The CM's feedback come at a time when Hindi “imposition” has change into a politically potent subject in southern states.
