In the wake of violence in Maharashtra’s Jalna district over the Maratha quota demand, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Sunday said his government was committed to providing reservation to this community in education and government jobs.
Talking to reporters after attending a state function in Buldhana district, around 450 km from here, he also said that there was no misunderstanding between him and two deputy chief ministers in the state and that all of them were working as a good team. “My government is committed to giving reservation to the Maratha community in the state. We will not sit quiet until the community get its due reservation,” Shinde said.
“Till the Maratha community gets reservation, the government schemes that are already in place will continue and deserving people from the Maratha community will benefit from it,” he added.
