Maha: MPCC chief criticises Mahayuti Govt on reservation issue

Mumbai, Jul 22 (UNI) Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president Nana Patole on Monday strongly attacked the BJP-led Mahayuti government on issue of reservation, accusing it of having ignited the dispute between the Maratha and OBC communities over reservation in the state.
Addressing a press conference at the party headquarter, he held the BJP and Devendra Fadnavis responsible for delay in reservation to the Marathas.
