Tamil Nadu Replaces Rupee Symbol In State Budget Amid Massive Row With Centre

Tamil Nadu on Thursday replaced the rupee symbol in promotional material for the 2025/26 state budget - which will be presented Friday morning - with a Tamil letter.

The decision to swap out the currency symbol comes amid the ruling DMK's ferocious battle with the centre over the 'imposition' of Hindi via the three-language formula in the new National Education Policy.

There has been no communication from the Tamil Nadu government, so far, on this swap, but a BJP spokesperson told NDTV the move amounted to the Tamil party saying it is "different from India".

The rupee symbol is common for India, Narayanan Thirupathy told NDTV.
