The development has come after the Fadnavis government began implementing a Government Resolution (GR) issued on 2 September which allows Marathas who can prove their Kunbilineageto Mumbai by Manoj Jarange Patil.

Wadettiwar criticised Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar saying: "This is merely a glimpse. The real picture is yet to be screened. If you have the will, increase the OBC quota to 42 per cent like it is in Telangana state. If you do that, we are with you."
