Even as the government is prepared to formulate a law to provide a separate quota to Marathas at a special session of the state legislature on Tuesday, the community’s leader Manoj Jarange Patil has advised Maratha ministers and legislators to speak out against the demand that the Maratha quota be shared with the Other Backward Class (OBC) reservation. He said the government could not stall the allotment of the Kunbi certificates to eligible Marathas and their blood relatives while going for an independent quota.
“It is the demand of crores of Marathas. They want a quota (in jobs and education) in the OBC category. We request Maratha ministers and legislators across all parties to raise their voices for the demand. And if they don’t do it, we will consider them as being anti-Maratha. They don’t need to speak about breaching a cap of 50 per cent for the Maratha quota,” he said from Antarwali Sarati where he has been fasting for 10 days.
