Maharashtra Tourism Minister Aaditya Thackeray has demanded a “separate budget” for his department.
The Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress government will present its maiden Budget on March 6.
Aaditya, the son of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, said that the Tourism department has been evaded and not given enough attention in the last few years.
“However, the situation changed after I took charge. Now, every MLA wants to do something for his district. The Tourism department does not have funds to cater to the growing demand. Therefore, I demand a separate budget, along with the main one, for the Tourism department,” Aaditya Thackeray said while addressing an event in Thane.
He stressed the need to highlight the geographical and cultural diversity of Maharashtra for improving its tourism potential.
