Mumbai: Legislators of the BJP on Monday targeted state social justice minister Sanjay Shirsat, alleging irregularities in the financial assistance provided to students preparing for competitive examinations, and demanded a probe.
A debate sparked in the legislative council after BJP MLC Niranjan Davkhare raised concerns regarding examinations conducted by state-run institutions Sarathi, Barati, Mahajyoti, and TRTI. Davkhare alleged some government officials and coaching classes had conspired and caused financial losses to students. Minister Shirsat said, “There have been no complaints from students.” His reply, however, irked BJP legislators, who stood up in protest. pti
