In light of the ongoing Maratha community agitation for reservation in education and government jobs, Sachin Ombase, collector of Maharashtra`s Dharashiv district, has expressed concern about the potential overcrowding of candidates during elections, which would pose challenges for electronic voting machines (EVMs). Ombase sought help from the Election Commission (EC) and stressed the need for clarification on how to manage such a circumstance, reported PTI.
According to the news agency report, Dharashiv, formerly known as Osmanabad, is part of the Marathwada area, which includes eight districts and eight Lok Sabha seats. The region has been the focus of activist Manoj Jarange Patil`s push for the Maratha reservation.
