Shinde govt. working towards reservation to Marathas, says Fadnavis

Assuring that the Eknath Shinde-led government was committed towards giving a foolproof quota to the Maratha community, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday said the government was positive towards meeting the demands raised by the community.

A delegation of the Maratha community met Mr. Fadnavis in the temple town of Pandharpur (in Solapur district) where Mr. Fadnavis and his wife Amruta offered worship at the Vitthal-Rukmini temple on the occasion of Kartiki Ekadashi.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Mr. Fadnavis said, “I have assured the Maratha community that the State government has a positive outlook towards their demands. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has assured of reservation for the community. We are standing behind him with full support. The issue will be solved for sure. Efforts are under way to give reservation to the Maratha community.”
