The Maharashtra government stands firm on granting reservation to the Maratha community without disturbing the quota for Other Backward Classes (OBCs), Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule said on Wednesday, reported news agency PTI.

His remarks come amid a stir launched by Maratha activist Manoj Jarange for a 10 per cent reservation under the OBC grouping.

"The government's stand is that Marathas should get reservation without affecting the OBC quota, and it is moving forward in that direction," Bawankule told reporters in Nagpur.
