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.
