While organisations of the Other Backward Classes (OBC) have threatened protests over the government’s decision to give Kunbi caste certificates to Marathas from parts of Marathwada, the sizable Dhangar community has revived its demand for a separate quota.
An activist of the Dhangar Aarakshan Kruti Samiti, Shekhar Bangale, threw ‘bhandara’ (holy turmeric powder) on Revenue Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil, who was on an official visit to Solapur on Friday. The minister, who was being briefed by Bangale and others, was caught unawares.
