Fadnavis Criticizes UPA NCERT Textbooks, Highlights Changes Under Modi Government
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis criticized the previous UPA government for NCERT textbooks dedicating 13 pages to Mughal history but only one passage to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He contrasted this with the current curriculum under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which he said allocates 17 pages to Shivaji. Fadnavis also accused the Congress of stalling the Women's Reservation Bill and spreading misleading narratives about the Ram Mandir and the upcoming Trimbakeshwar MahaSimhastha Kumbh Mela 2027.
