Patkar, a senior teacher representative, has approached Vijai for assistance with teachers' salary concerns, opting to go around the Congress party.
Patkar, a prominent figure in the teachers' community, has taken the unusual step of reaching out directly to Vijai for support on the ongoing salary dispute affecting educators. By sidestepping the Congress party, Patkar aims to expedite a resolution that has lingered for months.
Vijai, who holds a senior position in the education administration, was approached with a detailed briefing of the teachers' demands and the financial strain they are experiencing. The meeting is expected to focus on possible interim measures and a longer‑term plan to regularise salary payments.
The move reflects growing frustration among teachers over delayed wages and highlights a shift in strategy, as leaders seek direct engagement with officials who can influence budgetary decisions. No official response from the Congress party has been recorded at this stage.
