The Maharashtra government is committed to granting reservation to the Maratha community but will have to ensure that the allocation stands the legal and constitutional scrutiny, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Monday, reported news agency PTI.

Devendra Fadnavis' assurance comes on the eve of the expiry of an ultimatum given by activist Manoj Jarange to the government for declaring a quota for Marathas under the OBC category, reported PTI.
