Political tensions are escalating in Maharashtra as Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar criticizes the state's recent resolution on Maratha quotas, claiming it damages the interests of the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and fuels social unrest, particularly in Marathwada.
Wadettiwar targets senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and minister Chhagan Bhujbal, accusing him of hypocrisy in the ongoing debate over OBC quotas. He calls for Bhujbal to clarify his stance amid mixed messages and challenges the government to address the consequences of their policy.
The Congress leader argues that the government's decision, prompted by activist Manoj Jarange's hunger strike, exacerbates the Maratha-OBC conflict and questions why necessary discussions with leaders haven't occurred to assess the impact on OBC reservations.
