Maharashtra PWD minister Ashok Chavan and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday sparred in the state Legislative Assembly over the Maratha quota issue currently being heard by the Supreme Court, with both of them accusing each other of indulging in politics.
Chavan, who heads the cabinet sub-committee on the Maratha quota issue, first made a statement in the lower house apprising the members about the ongoing case in the apex court on the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) Act that granted reservation to the Maratha community.
