More than 35,000 government schools in Jharkhand are set for a fresh coat of paint in green-and-white shades, colours associated with the ruling JMM's party flag.
While the ruling dispensation claimed the colours were selected based on experts' recommendations as green is soothing for eyes and white symbolises cleanliness, the opposition BJP cried foul alleging the shades were chosen to send out a political message.
At present, school buildings are painted pink and toilets blue.
