The Maratha community will not resort to violence any further, but the protesting groups also said they would not discuss the reservation demand with the government and sit-in across the state. As a counter move, the BJP government has decided to expedite the recommendatory report of the backward class commission to the Bombay High Court, which will decide the quota case.

The Sakal Maratha Samaj has demanded that the BJP government give in writing that the community will be given a 16% per cent quota in jobs and education in a particular time frame.
