Maharashtra Chunav: The day after registering a spectacular victory in the Haryana Assembly elections, BJP has started its mission in Maharashtra. He started the game regularly on Wednesday. In fact, assembly elections can be announced any moment now in the state. Assembly elections are to be held in the state in November. Meanwhile, due to the success in Haryana, BJP has become full of enthusiasm about Maharashtra. He set the game for Maharashtra elections on Wednesday. He also scored the first goal. Now the opposition Mahavikas Aghadi has to answer this. With this step of BJP, the entire discussion of Maharashtra politics has changed in one fell swoop.
Actually, we are talking about an important decision of the Maharashtra government on Wednesday. In an important decision late on Wednesday evening, the Maharashtra government took the decision to include 15 castes of the state in OBC. Along with this, it is also working on a plan to increase the limit of OBC cream layer to Rs 15 lakh. Sources say that this proposal will also be approved in the cabinet meeting to be held on Thursday and will be sent to the Central Government for further approval.
riot begins
But, the political impact of this decision of the state government is beginning to be seen in the state. Immediately after the decision, leader Jarange Patil, who is agitating for Maratha reservation, has given a sharp reaction. He said that this is being done deliberately. The state had suggested this a few months ago. It was hoped that Marathas would also be included in the OBC category. We don’t regret taking them. But why were Marathas not included in OBC? What is the point of including all these castes in it? We have been protesting for a year, don’t you feel ashamed? You classified them as OBC in front of our eyes.
He said that if a decision is not taken about Maratha before the code of conduct comes, the consequences will be bad. Why did you start hating Marathas so much? Jarange Patil has warned the government that if you do not take a decision before the implementation of the code of conduct, then 55 percent of the Maratha community will not let you get even a seat.
many political meanings
This decision of the state government just before the elections has many political implications. With this decision of the government, the politics of OBC versus Maratha will gain momentum in the state. Sharad Pawar is the biggest leader of the Maratha community. But, he does not have any clear opinion on the issue of Maratha reservation. He does not want to anger the OBC community. Recently, he had given a formula to solve the issue of demand for Maratha reservation that the maximum limit of 50 percent reservation in the Constitution should be abolished and along with this, the benefit of quota should be given to Marathas without cutting the reservation of OBC community. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also supported his statement.
