Bhujbal to Fight Against Maratha Inclusion in OBC Category
Chhagan Bhujbal, a Maharashtra minister, is against the idea of including Marathas in the OBC category.
He said the OBC group is already full, and Marathas have their own opportunities.
Bhujbal thinks Marathas already have a lot of power and benefits in the state.
He believes that a Maratha activist, Manoj Jarange-Patil, is causing problems.
Bhujbal is ready to fight against the inclusion if the demand continues.
He added that the Supreme Court's judgment from the Indra Sawhney case will prevail.
Chhagan Bhujbal will oppose the inclusion of Marathas in the OBC category.
Bhujbal stated OBC is not a caste but a class with limited space.
Bhujbal believes Marathas already hold significant influence and reservation benefits.
He accused Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange-Patil of disrupting social harmony.
Bhujbal commented in response to renewed agitation by Manoj Jarange-Patil.
