Congress President Sonia Gandhi s letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray seeking more attention and funds by the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government for disadvantaged sections is seen as a signal to Maratha leaders and state unit chief Balasaheb Thorat not to neglect such communities in the functioning of the party organisation and in governance.
Gandhi has also conveyed that the dominance of Maratha ministers and such leaders will not be tolerated as the Congress partyâs social agenda lays emphasis on the protection of the weaker sections of the society especially the dalit, Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and other marginalised.
