Sharad Pawar has taken a stand to resolve the Maratha and OBC reservation dispute in the state for the last few months. Pawar urged all political parties in the state to work together to resolve the impasse over Maratha and OBC reservation.
Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has called an all-party meeting to discuss the issue. Pawar suggested that Maratha leader Manoj Jarange Patil and OBC leaders should be invited to the meeting. It's Monday today.) He was speaking at a press conference in Pune.
Sharad Pawar said, "Today, everyone should take care of the social environment of Maharashtra. Steps should be taken so that there is no bitterness between the two communities. It is impossible to say what will happen if we do not take care of it in time. I have discussed the matter with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
Now through you, I want to suggest that the Chief Minister should call an all-party meeting. Call the right people. We will attend the meeting as an opposition party, our role will be cooperative. The Chief Minister will convene a meeting in this regard, he should call the leaders of the parties he considers important.
Apart from this, Manoj Jarange Patil, who has worked hard in raising this question, should also be invited to the meeting.
The second point is that the OBC reservation, whoever is leading them, should also be invited to the meeting.
We will discuss it in a joint meeting.
The court also ruled that the state government has no right to give more than 50 per cent reservation.
Therefore, the central government should take the role of increasing the reservation limit. We will support it without any opposition.
This way we will find a way and we will get reservation, "Pawar said.
