Fadnavis Says Maratha Quota GR Will Not Affect OBC Rights

He cites proof-based safeguards that restrict Kunbi certificates to applicants with documented records.

Overview

  • The Maharashtra chief minister said the government resolution on the Maratha quota will not dilute Other Backward Classes entitlements.
  • He asserted that no ineligible or “bogus” claimant would be added to the OBC category under the new process.
  • Only individuals who can show historical records proving Kunbi lineage will receive certificates, he said.
  • Fadnavis accused the Opposition of practicing “politics of extremes” and creating fear that is harming OBC students.
  • He highlighted the BJP government’s OBC measures, including a dedicated ministry, the Maha Jyoti initiative, and restoring the 27% OBC quota, and said college hiring delays would be cleared and action is underway against loud DJ systems during festivals.
