Maharashtra BJP spokesperson Keshav Upadhye on Friday accused the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) of failing to address the demands of the Maratha community when it was in power.

Upadhye targeted MVA players NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and the Congress for "inaction" over the Maratha quota, even as activist Manoj Jarange began his agitation in Mumbai to demand reservation for the community.

"During the MVA government, Pawar, Thackeray and the Congress deliberately ignored the Maratha community. Even today, when Manoj Jarange has demanded a quota without disturbing the OBC reservation, all three have chosen to remain silent," Upadhye said on X.
