Amid the Maratha Morcha in Mumbai, Maharashtra Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule said that it was unjustified to take away reservation from one community and give it to another on Tuesday, PTI reported. Bawankule further alleged that no government in the state, other than those led by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and his predecessor Eknath Shinde, had done justice to the Maratha community.

While addressing the media in Pune, Bawankule said that “it has been the BJP's stand that the Maratha community should get reservations." 

He further added, "Under the leadership of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, a decision on Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) was implemented. After EWS, protests over quotas in other states came to an end, and because of it, several open categories, including the Maratha community, benefited."
