It was claimed in the Vidhan Sabha on Friday that a proposal to set up an international-level Lata Mangeshkar Music School in Mumbai was scrapped by the Uddhav Thackeray-led government, because the Mangeshkar family chose Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the first recipient of the award named after the late singer.
BJP leader Ashish Shelar made a statement in this regard while discussing supplementary demands. “Since the first award in the name of Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar was given to PM Narendra Modi, and the then chief minister of the MVA government was not invited to the ceremony, the permission granted for the school was revoked by a ‘mean’ CM,” he said, adding that the incumbent CM Eknath Shinde has revived the project and granted all permissions.
