Taking a jibe at the Eknath Shinde-led government on Sunday, NCP leader Supriya Sule highlighted the delay in the issuing of a draft ordinance regarding Maratha reservation, underscoring its impact on Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil and his supporters who accompanied him to Mumbai.

Labelling the government as negligent and insensitive, Sule on Sunday stated that the Marathas were compelled to travel all the way to Mumbai when the notification could have been issued months ago. Sule’s remarks came a day after the Maharashtra government issued a gazette notification presenting draft rules to grant Kunbi caste certificates to include Marathas in the OBC category.
