Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar blasted the Telangana administration for allowing people to write official exams in Urdu. He stated that the decision was made to appease ethnic communities. The ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) responded by stating that Urdu, like Telugu, is an official language. Previously, Telangana minister KTR justified the state's decision to include the option of writing exams in Urdu, claiming that Urdu, like Telugu, is an official language recognised by the Constitution. The Union government, as well as various states such as Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and others, hold recruitment tests in Urdu, including the UPSC. "So, what's the issue?" he inquired.
