Naidu's remarks gain significance against the backdrop of the ongoing language row in Tamil Nadu and other southern states over the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and its three-language policy.
He described Hindi as the 'national language' and said that learning it would only help in fluent communication in Delhi.
“I am telling this very clearly to you, language is not for hating. Here (in Andhra Pradesh) the mother tongue is Telugu. Hindi is the national language and the international language is English,” Naidu told the state assembly.
