Has State given up hopes of fighting for Maratha quota in SC, asks BJP MP Chhatrapati Sambhajiraje, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Rajya Sabha MP from Kolhapur and a direct descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji, on Thursday slammed the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government’s decision to give the Maratha community benefits under the Centre’s economically weaker section (EWS) category. Mr. Sambhajiraje wondered how much of the benefits would actually pass on to the Maratha community and questioned whether the State government had already given up hopes of putting up a strong defence for the Maratha quota before the Supreme Court’s hearing on the case on January 25 next year.
