Nagpur: Maharashtra deputy chief minister and finance minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday presented the state budget in the Assembly. The one-and-a-half-hour-long speech included various schemes and budgets for the state.

However, Fadnavis himself being from Vidarbha, could not get much for the decades-old disputed land. Here is what Nagpur will be getting from Maharashtra budget 2023-24:

– Fadnavis announced an audio-video park would come up in the city based on the life story of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj
