BJP MP Sambhaji Chhatrapati on Friday warned that if the Maharashtra government does not approve his demands concerning the Maratha community by June 6, he would launch an agitation irrespective of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Speaking to reporters here, Sambhaji Chhatrapati, a descendant of Maratha warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji, said he submitted a list of his demands to Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday. He gave the list of demands over three weeks after the Supreme Court struck down the Maharashtra law granting quota to the Maratha community in admissions and government jobs, by terming it as unconstitutional , and held that there were no exceptional circumstances to breach the 50 per cent reservation cap set by the 1992 Mandal verdict.

His remark comes after BJP state unit chief Chandrakant Patil said, PM feels the issue (Maratha reservation ) is more an issue of the state than the Centre. What is the use of meeting the PM when the issue falls under the purview of the state government? Raje wanted to meet Modi over the reservation issue (after the SC order). Why did these actresses (Priyanka and Kangana) meet him? There is no objection to the meeting, but not giving appointment to Sambhaji Raje is an insult to Maharashtra, said Sawant.

Maharashtra Legislative Council Chairman Ramraje Naik Nimbalkar on Friday asked the state government to probe and take action against the author and publisher of a book, which allegedly tells the wrong history of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.
Nimbalkar gave the instruction after Peasants and Workers Party leader Jayant Patil raised the issue in the Council.
Patil said the book Marathyancha Itihas (History of Marathas), published by one Phadke Publication, tells the wrong history of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. Considering the point of information (raised by Patil), the government should probe this immediately and take action, Nimbalkar said.
