Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin is facing an unexpected social media storm over his opposition to the three-language policy. A viral parody video, titled ‘Yappa Yappa Stalin Appa’, has taken the internet by storm, mocking DMK’s alleged double standards on language education.
The 180-second clip, shared by Tamil Nadu BJP President K Annamalai, has garnered over 1 lakh views on X. Set to the tune of Prabhu Deva’s ‘Yappa Yappa Ayyappa’, the video highlights how DMK leaders oppose Hindi for government schools but send their own children abroad to study multiple languages. With sharp lyrics and sarcastic undertones, it questions the fairness of the two-language policy for the poor while DMK elites enjoy global education.
The video has fueled debates over Tamil Nadu’s long-standing opposition to Hindi. The DMK has been vocal against the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, branding it as “Hindi imposition”. Stalin recently fired back at critics, declaring that Tamil Nadu will never be blackmailed into surrendering.
As social media explodes with reactions, this parody has reignited the language policy debate, making waves in political circles. Will this online backlash change the discourse? Only time will tell.
