The verdict of the Supreme Court is welcome and it is the result of continuous follow-up by BJP and the hard work of senior leadership.--Basavaraj Mangarule, BJP State vice presidentReservation because of Mahavikas AghadiOBC reservation was validated because of Mahavikas Aghadi. Former CM Uddhav Thackeray took the stand that elections will not be held without OBC reservation. The MVA went to every village and ward in the State to collect data. That data was presented before the court. The result is the judgment of the Supreme Court.--MLC Ambadas Danve, district chief, Shiv SenaHappy as an OBC workerI myself belong to the OBC community and am very happy that political reservation remains intact. But the work of the Banthia Commission is not entirely satisfactory. Mahavikas Aghadi government formed the commission late and did not provide funds. The existing state government appointed a new lawyer and presented the case before the court with full preparation paving the way for reservation.--Dr Bhagwat Karad, union Minister of State for FinanceCredit goes to BhujbalDespite being in power, Chhagan Bhujbal was extremely adamant about 27 percent political reservation for OBCs. Even through the Samata Parishad, there were continuous agitations. This is the success he got. We will be celebrating at Akashvani Chowk on Thursday.--Manoj Ghodke, district president, Samata Parishad
