Bhujbal vows to push for Marathas to be excluded from the OBC category.

• Chhagan Bhujbal, a senior Other Backward Classes leader, has pledged to fight against the demand for Marathas’ inclusion in the OBC category.

• This comes amid a recent agitation by Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange-Patil.

• Bhujbal accused Jarange-Patil of disrupting social harmony in parts of Maharashtra.

• He argued that the Maratha community has significant influence in the State and receives reservation benefits.

• Bhujbal emphasized that 60% of Maharashtra’s MLAs and Ministers hail from the Maratha community.

• He stated that the 1992 judgment in the Indra Sawhney case would ultimately prevail, and the Supreme Court would not withdraw the report.
