Udhayanidhi Stalin has made several different controversial and headline‑grabbing remarks, so what he “said” depends on which recent incident you’re asking about. Here are the key ones that are trending or often searched:

1. Attack on BJP–AIADMK alliance (February 2026)

Ahead of the upcoming political battles in Tamil Nadu, he targeted the BJP and its ally AIADMK, saying the BJP would not be able to win in the state “no matter how hard they try,” expressing confidence that his party would return to power and continue governing Tamil Nadu.

He also attacked AIADMK chief Edappadi K Palaniswami, reportedly saying that “we must drive out Edappadi Palaniswami, who faced 10 defeats,” and framed the election as a contest between “Tamil Nadu and Delhi.”

2. Remarks on Hindi “devouring” other languages (January 2026)

In late January 2026, Udhayanidhi Stalin spoke strongly against what he called “Hindi imposition.”

He said that in several states, Hindi has entered and “people have forgotten their mother tongue,” and called Hindi a language that has “devoured many languages.”

He described the three‑language formula as a “ploy to impose Hindi,” defending Tamil Nadu’s two‑language policy (Tamil and English) as key to the state’s progress and identity, and argued that the Centre’s education and language policies amount to a kind of “cultural invasion.”

3. “BJP has got a slave” comment about AIADMK (November 2025)

At a book‑release event in Chennai, he criticised AIADMK for supporting the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, while DMK opposed it citing risks to minority voters.

He said, “BJP has got a ‘slave’ in AIADMK to file cases in favour of SIR,” positioning AIADMK as acting at the BJP’s behest.

4. Past controversies often recalled in 2026

Even when he speaks on current issues, opponents frequently bring up some older remarks:

  • On Nirmala Sitharaman and central funds (December 2023):
    He said Tamil Nadu was only asking for its due tax share, not “anyone’s father’s money,” and later defended himself by saying he had not used any “bad word” and would withdraw it if shown otherwise.
  • On Sanatana Dharma (2023):
    He said Sanatana Dharma is incompatible with social justice and should be “eliminated,” comparing it to diseases such as dengue and malaria, and arguing that some things “cannot be opposed, [they] should be abolished only.”

These older comments about Sanatana Dharma continue to be cited in 2025–26 by his critics whenever he attacks the BJP or speaks on religion, language, or identity politics.

If you tell me which context you meant (Hindi issue, Sanatana Dharma, attack on BJP/AIADMK, or something else), I can zoom in and give you a tighter, quote‑focused explanation of that specific remark.
