Ratnagiri: Nationalist Sharad Chandra Pawar party president Sharad Pawar has clarified his position on reservation while the leaders of the opposition Mahavikas Aghadi with the ruling Grand Alliance are at loggerheads over the issue of Maratha reservation.
“We support the demand for Maratha reservation, but other small communities should also be taken along,” Pawar said. He was talking to reporters in Ratnagiri.
When asked about Maratha reservation, Sharad Pawar said, “We support Maratha reservation. It is our position that while providing this support, other small elements of the society should also be taken along. One of the characteristics of Maratha society is that this society takes other castes and tribes along with it. Even from the time of Shiv Chhatrapati, Shiv Chhatrapati has set the ideal of establishing a kingdom of ryots by taking the people of Atharapgad caste with him and the same feeling prevails even today in all sections of the society. Therefore, many people have taken the stand that Manoj Jarange’s demand for reservation is right and while making this demand, people of other communities should be considered. Especially, Jarange Patil himself has presented such a position. He said that other communities like Dhangar, Muslim, Lingayat should also get reservation. Therefore, we are saying that all small elements should be taken along,” Sharad Pawar has explained his position in these words.

The meeting will be held today in the Ministry in the presence of the Chairman of the Maratha Reservation Cabinet Sub-Committee Chandrakant Patil and the Minister Shambhu Raje Desai. In this meeting to be held in the Ministry, there is a possibility of discussion regarding the implementation of Hyderabad Gazetteer.
The government is in a dilemma over the Maratha reservation issue and the government is going to try to break this dilemma before the assembly elections. Because in the Lok Sabha elections, the ruling grand coalition had to face the wrath of the Maratha community. In this background, it will be important to see if any decision is taken regarding Maratha reservation and Hyderabad Gazetteer in the sub-committee meeting to be held today.
