“My important demand is to get Tamil medium books for Classes 1 to 10 for students of my constituency (Nagari) since the constituency is bordering Tamil Nadu and many of the students in my constituency are studying in Tamil and in matriculation syllabus. Every year, we approach the Tamil Nadu government for Tamil books and this year we have met Stalin for books. He assured to supply them immediately,” said Roja, addressing reporters, after meeting the Chief Minister.
