Nashik, Mar 13
The state government has not handled the issue of the Maratha reservation properly. It has deceived the Maratha community. Injustice was done regarding reservation. To give a comprehensive reply to this, more than 450 independent candidates belonging to the Maratha community will file their nomination papers in Nashik constituency for Lok Sabha, informed Nana Bachhav, protestor of the Maratha community. He further said that the community will make trouble for Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the elections.
According to Bachhav, the entire Maratha community will vote for Maratha candidates. Also, the Maratha community will not interact with the MLAs and MPs who were elected because of Maratha votes but remained silent during the community’s struggle to get reservation under the OBC quota.

The government has ordered an SIT probe into Manoj Jarange-Patil’s agitation. This is a failure of the Maratha MLAs and MPs sitting in power, the Maratha community will never support those who cheat the community; which is what this planning is for. The community will show its place to the government which forgets the promise given to the Marathas in Mumbai, and also filed cases against the protestors from the community.
