Digital Desk, New Delhi. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis took a strong stance on Marathi identity on Monday, January 12.

Fadnavis spoke on language dispute
Before the BMS elections, there is a lot of politics going on regarding the language dispute.

Our government has only constituted a committee to study this decision.
The Chief Minister of Maharashtra further said that 'during the tenure of Uddhav Thackeray, a report came in which it was recommended that both Hindi and English languages should be taught to students in schools. This report was submitted in September 2021 and was approved by the then cabinet of Uddhav Thackeray on January 20, 2022.
