Maratha-OBC rivalry gets intense in Maharashtra

The politics in Maharashtra over Maratha reservation has reached a climax with both Deputy Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar, despite being in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Nagar, choosing not to visit Maratha agitator Manoj Jarange Patil in Jalna district.

Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Friday held a meeting with representatives of the Other Backward Classes (OBC) and Nomadic Tribes at the Sahyadri Guest House. Shinde was accompanied by Deputy Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar as well as senior ministers and officials. Representatives from these segments put forth their demands in the meeting. After the meeting, the Chief Minister asserted that the reservation of OBC will not be touched while giving quota to the Maratha community.

The OBC leadership has made its stand clear before the government in long and marathon discussions that they should be given reservation under economic weaker section (EWS) category.
