The Eknath Shinde govt plans to introduce a Maratha quota bill in the special assembly session. The move follows the MSBCC survey that found the Maratha caste backward. CM Eknath Shinde assured the quota won't affect other communities. The legislation faces scepticism due to previous apex court rulings and the quota cap.

Maratha Reservation Bill Passed in Maharashtra, CM Eknath Shinde Asserts Legality | Oneindia News
After three years, Maharashtra passes a bill granting Marathas 10% reservation in government jobs and education. This is the third attempt in a decade to address their concerns. Marathas, a significant community in Maharashtra, have historically held influence but felt sidelined. Previous efforts, including a 2018 Act, didn't fully satisfy their demands. With elections looming in 2024, some view this move as political maneuvering, while others await potential legal challenges.
