Tamil parties demanded to know why questions in the examination to select postmen and assistants in rural areas were only in Hindi and English, and not in Tamil. The demand was supported by communist parties as well as also the Congress, Trinamool Congress, BSP and YSR Congress. "I have examined the matter, and it has now been decided to cancel the examination held on July 14, 2019. Thank you Thank You Thank You," said A Navaneethakrishnan of AIADMK. While other opposition parties also expressed satisfaction for resolving a challenging situation, Derek O'Brien of Trinamool Congress described it as a big win for the opposition parties.
