Balaji Killarikar & Laxman Hake quit Maharashtra State Backward Class Commission earlier this month, at a time when Maratha reservation issue is gathering steam in the state.
Maharashtra’s plan to mainstream rural education by merging small schools into bigger clusters could open up a brave new world— but it could also push some students to the fringes.
Even as Jarange-Patil said he was resuming his hunger strike, a seemingly helpless CM Shinde & his deputy Fadnavis rushed to Delhi to ‘hold meetings’, it is learnt.
Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange-Patil has warned that he will launch a fast unto death on 25 October unless govt announces OBC reservation for the community by then.
After protesters in Jalna were lathicharged, Deputy CM & Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis is under Opposition fire. CM Eknath Shinde says 'committed to restoring Maratha reservation'.
Six men — all from ‘upper-caste’ community — allegedly beat up four Dalit men in Ahmednagar with sticks, hung them upside down from a tree, urinated on them, and lobbed casteist slur.
After Eknath Shinde split Shiv Sena, Uddhav Thackeray attacked the rebels tooth and nail. That hasn’t been the case with Sharad Pawar since nephew Ajit Pawar split NCP last month.
Last week, govt called for feedback on its draft notification on ‘Hirkani’ rooms. Need for such spaces came into focus after MLA Saroj Ahire attended assembly sessions with her baby.
With the induction of nine NCP MLAs in the Maharashtra cabinet, the state now has only 14 vacant cabinet berths as against 23 before the Ajit Pawar-led faction joined the government.
The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
