Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde emphasised the Mahayuti government`s commitment to ensuring justice for the Maratha and OBC communities, while dismissing any competition for credit.

"We are not in a fight for credit...The Mahayuti government is working to ensure justice for the Maratha community and the OBC community... This government will continue to work for the development of the state and to help the common people," he said.

The Maharashtra Cabinet has decided to form a six-member cabinet subcommittee to address issues related to the Other Backwards Classes (OBC) community, following the Maratha reservation decision, with two ministers from each party.
