The Maharashtra government faces wrath from various Maratha communities after it placed it under EWS reservation.

Key points:

1. Shiv Sangram urges the Maharashtra government to restore the Maratha reservation under SEBC.

2. Maha Vikas Aghadi’s decision to accommodate Marathas under the EWS invites wrath from Maratha Kranti Morcha and Shiv Sangram.

3. EWS reservation will provide less than 10 percentage quotas in a stiffer competition.

Shiv Sangram, of BJP’s NDA, raises voice against placing Marathas under the Economical Weaker Section:

Maharashtra government’s choice to deal with the Marathas below the Economical Weaker Section reservation has invited wrath from the Shiv Sangram, part of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance.

Shiv Sangram president advises Maharashtra government to give Marathas reservation below SEBC:

Shiv Sangram president Vinayak Mete has advised the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) to repair the Maratha reservation below the Socially and Educationally Backward Class (SEBC). He has raised apprehensions that after the EWS is enforced, the Marathas might in no way make it to the SEBC wherein blessings are better in phrases of reservation for training and authority’s jobs.

SEBC reservation provides Marathas a higher reservation quota:

Shiv Sangram, with its base withinside the Marathwada region, is making plans to release a marketing campaign quickly towards the authorities’ choice. Mete said that the SEBC decision became followed via way of means of the national legislative meeting and council. It was given consent from all political events in 2018. The unanimous choice became taken and applied to present Marathas 12 and 23 percentage reservation in authorities’ instructional establishments and jobs. Therefore, the EWS reservation with stiffer opposition and much less than 10 percentage quotas don’t provide a lot to the Maratha community.

The Maratha Kranti Morcha (MKM) slams the government for compromising its role: Mete believed that to keep away from backlash from the community, the authorities driven the Marathas for the EWS reservation. The company has expressed its displeasure over the authorities’ “failure” to seek advice from the Maratha companies earlier than taking its decisions. The Maratha Kranti Morcha (MKM), which has been crusading the long-drawn war for the Maratha reservation rights seeing that 2016-17, had already slammed the authorities for “compromising” its role over the issue.
