On protests in Beed, Maharashtra Minister Chhagan Bhujbal on June 22 said that the demand raised was to get a separate reservation for the OBCs and Maratha people. “We just want to say that we are not against the Maratha people, we want OBCs and Maratha people to get a separate reservation. There should not be enmity between anyone. We should discuss things peacefully…Yesterday CM Eknath Shinde had a meeting with ministers and several people where it was decided that actions will be taken on the people who have taken a form for OBC certificates through false means. All the political parties will sit and take a decision on this. Devendra Fadnavis has also shown his support for caste-based census,” said Chhagan Bhujbal.
