Anand Nirgude tendered his resignation, without citing any reason, on 4 December, soon after 2 other members, Balaji Killarikar & Laxman Hake, quit over ‘govt interference’ in panel’s work.
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.
NCP minister Bhujbal speaks against ‘backdoor entry’ for Marathas in OBC quota, drawing flak from Sena minister Desai. Community leader says OBCs planning stir post-Diwali.
Maharashtra CM spoke on phone to activist Manoj Jarange-Patil, who is on hunger strike. The state government has called for an all-party meeting Wednesday to discuss quota issue.
Protesters demanding reservation for Maratha community attacked home of NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) MLA in Beed & office of BJP MLA in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district.
Patil submitted his resignation to Lok Sabha Speaker Sunday. In his resignation letter, he said the Maratha issue has been pending for 'long, long time'.
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.
BJP’s Raosaheb Danve, NCP’s Rajesh Tope and Shiv Sena’s Arjun Khotkar—three leaders have long held power in Maharashtra's Jalna. The Maratha community is now taking it back.
Her saree could easily give Sabyasachi’s Met Gala creation a run for his money. Alia Bhatt’s ‘Garden of Time’ saree was a product of 163 artisans, Tyagi is a one-woman show.
India’s defence sector is trying to penetrate the African market. But with China already extending significant influence, India must now play catch-up.
Discussion about outcome of Lok Sabha polls continues to boil in cauldron of expectations only from BJP. Now reverse this equation, what if we asked about the performance of the 'loser'?
