Maharashtra Congress President Harshwardhan Sapkal on Thursday questioned whether the Devendra Fadnavis-led government would follow the Telangana model, which grants a 42 per cent quota to the Other Backward Classes (OBCs), reported the PTI.

Sapkal called for a caste-based census, describing it as the "only permanent solution" to the reservation issue.

He accused the Maharashtra government of creating tensions between the Maratha and OBC communities over reservation policies.
