Ahead of a fresh round of agitation threatened by the Maratha Kranti Morcha from November 25 to demand reservations for their community members, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday indicated that his Government would come out with a formal announcement about reservations for Marathas in Government jobs and educational institutions on December 1.
“I request all of you to prepare yourselves for celebrations on December 1,” Fadnavis said, while addressing a public rally at Ahmednagar in western Maharashtra.
Fadnavis’ announcement came hours after Maharashtra State Backward Class Commission (MSBCC) member-secretary DD Deshmukh submitted the Commission’s voluminous report on the socio-economic status of the Marathas to State Chief Secretary DK Jain.
On August 7, the Bombay High Court had set November 15 as deadline for MSBCC to submit its report to it.
