Hindustan Times|December 25, 2023
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday slammed Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MP Dayanidhi Maran over his purported statement that people who study only Hindi in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh “build houses” and “clean toilets” in Tamil Nadu.
Maran's remarks on Hindi speakers fan row

In a viral video, which DMK leaders claimed was from 2019, Maran is purportedly heard comparing the job prospects of those who have studied only Hindi with those who also know English.

“Only because they (people here) studied English, today they earn fat salaries in IT companies. They say ‘Hindi Hindi’. You know well who build buildings. Those who study only Hindi in Bihar build houses for us in Tamil Nadu, sweep roads and clean toilets,” Maran was heard saying in the video that has now gone viral. HT could not independently verify the veracity of the video.

The video sparked a political row, drawing criticism from leaders of both the BJP and RJD in Bihar.
