The Mahayuti government, comprising the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Eknath Shinde headed Shiv Sena, withdrew the Government Resolution (GR) on the three-language format in schools and announced the formation of a committee headed by Dr Narendra Jadhav to study the issue in detail. The final report submitted by this committee will be accepted to decide on further action.

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday, speaking to a media person, said, “In today’s cabinet decision, we have decided to cancel the GR and form a committee to study the three-language format in the education system.”

Further, slamming the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition for misleading the citizens, Fadnavis said, “It was the MVA that had accepted the three-language format. In fact, it is Mahayuti that made Marathi mandatory and Hindi optional. But now that we have withdrawn the GR and appointed a committee, the report submitted by Dr Jadhav and other members will be accepted for further action to be taken on the same.”
