It would come up in the Solapur district at the Punyashlok Ahilyadevi Holkar Solapur University that borders Karnataka. The district has a large Lingayat population.

The total cost of the projects approved goes beyond Rs 10,000 crore.

The meeting also decided to set up a sub-committee to take ahead the ambitious project of a memorial dedicated to former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. These decisions were taken at a Cabinet meeting presided over by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

The political class in Maharashtra is expecting the Election Commission to announce poll schedule later this week or next week.
