The Maharashtra government will back the Maratha community’s demand for reservation when the matter comes up before the Bombay High Court on Friday, reported Mumbai Mirror.
Members of the Maratha community in the state have been staging massive ‘silent protests’ on the issue of reservation, something that got the Devendra Fadnavis government rattled over the past few months. They have also been demanding that the two absconding rapists in the Kopardi gangrape case be given death sentences.
The report quotes the state Social Welfare Minister Rajkumar Badole as saying that Fadnavis has given consent to support the demand.
