Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil on Wednesday urged Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to extend the Winter Session of the Maharashtra Legislature slated to be held between December 7 and 20 in order to enable the House to pass legislation pertaining to Maratha reservation.
Mr. Jarange Patil also indicated a willingness to extend the December 24 ‘ultimatum’ he had issued to the Shinde government to give reservation to the Marathas by giving them OBC Kunbi certificates.
“I appeal to CM Shinde and the two Deputy CMs, Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar, to extend the Winter Session that begins from December 7 by another four to five days to enable the House to pass legislation on the Maratha quota issue. The reason being the government should not again give the pretext that the session got over and hence they could not do anything about the reservation,” said the activist, speaking in Sambhajinagar (formerly Aurangabad).
