A study tour of 17 Maharashtra legislators to the United Kingdom has sparked criticism from some participants over logistics and the academic value of the visit. Several members privately expressed disappointment, saying the programme did not meet expectations of a structured legislative exchange.
The delegation, which included MLAs (Members of the Legislative Assembly) and MLCs (Members of the Legislative Council), attended the “Future Leaders Programme on Sustainable Leadership and Global Citizenship” organised by the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.
