Read the latest news on the removal of a panel member from the Maharashtra State Backward Class Commission ahead of the report on Marathas. Stay updated with Indian News.
Maharashtra State Backward Class Commission (MSBCC) submits the survey report examining the backwardness of the Maratha community to the government. The report is expected to pave the way for legislation providing for a Maratha quota.
Appealing to Maratha social activist Manoj Jarange-Patil to call off his fast, Shinde said the government is working on the quota demand and, therefore, there is no need for him to protest.
Maharashtra Backward Class Commission chairperson Justice (retd) Anand Nirgude’s resignation comes after two members stepped down earlier this month citing ‘growing interference’ of the government.
Two Backward Commission members have resigned and a third one is considering it alleging Shinde govt’s pressure for obtaining data that can justify quota for Marathas
