Maratha Kranti Morcha leader Sanjay Lakhe Patil has chastised the Maharashtra government for calling a special session of the state assembly to discuss the Maratha quota while a curative case is pending in the Supreme Court, reported PTI.

According to the report, Patil accused the state administration of using deceitful techniques, claiming that its efforts to pass quota legislation contradicted the Supreme Court`s order. On May 5, 2021, the Supreme Court struck down a law in Maharashtra that granted quotas to the Maratha community in jobs and education, prompting the filing of a curative case.
