NAGPUR: A rift surfaced among the three ruling MahaYuti Maharashtra government partners on Thursday over the pending approval of a scheme to revamp the state government-organised science exhibitions, which attract schoolchildren.
During question hour in the state legislative assembly, the State's School Education Minister and Shiv Sena leader Dada Bhuse pointed fingers at the Planning Department controlled by Deputy Chief Minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Ajit Pawar for not giving the ‘go-ahead’ and instead raising objections on the increased demand for funds.
The BJP legislators were questioning Minister Bhuse for not launching the 'Chief Minister Vidyarthi Vigyaan Vari' scheme. Under this scheme, students with the top 21 projects from the tehsil-level competition will be taken to visit a science centre at the division level.
