Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister's cultural advisor Shriram Tiwari has said Lord Krishna was the world's greatest Gen Z figure, having achieved remarkable feats at age 12. The remark comes amid a political row over the state government's new Bhagwan Shri Krishna Medhavi Chhatravritti Yojana, a merit scholarship scheme named after the Hindu deity. India TV News quotes Tiwari's comments as defending the scheme's cultural significance. Opponents have criticised the government for mixing religion with education policy.
