The Maha Vikas Aghadi has started experiencing turbulence over promoting employees on seniority basis instead of social reservation, because a minister from the Congress Nitin Raut wants it stayed, while deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar isn’t willing to rollback.

Claims and counterclaims were made on a day the Cabinet met. Congress minister and party’s national chief of scheduled caste cell Raut told mediapersons that the Cabinet’s subcommittee has asked the state administration to not implement the decision of scrapping quota for promotion in government jobs. But at the same time, messages were sent from his office that the decision has been stayed with immediate effect. People in Pawar’s office said Raut should stop spreading misleading news and should show an order in letter and spirit. Pawar heads a subcommittee on reservations.
