Overview

  • After talks in Mumbai, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said Kunbi certificates will be issued only after document checks and genealogy scrutiny, not on affidavits or marriages.
  • Revenue minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule warned that officials who issue fake caste certificates will face action, while NCP minister Chhagan Bhujbal presented evidence alleging bogus issuances.
  • OBC leaders across parties demanded the September 2 government resolution be withdrawn and sought a white paper on all caste and validity certificates issued since 2014.
  • Delegations said the “OBC Mahamorcha” in Nagpur on October 10 will proceed despite the chief minister’s appeal to postpone it citing flood conditions.
  • The resolution applies Hyderabad and Satara gazette records to enable eligible Marathas to seek Kunbi (OBC) certificates, as the government also highlighted ₹1,500 crore for MahaJyoti and 63 OBC hostels.
