Maratha Protests Taken Care Of? What Eknath Shinde Told NDTV

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, in an exclusive interview with NDTV, addressed the Maratha reservation issue, a topic that has sparked protests and hurt the Mahayuti alliance in the Lok Sabha elections this year.  "We gave to the Maratha community what should have been granted long ago. Previous governments used the Maratha community without delivering real benefits. When I became Chief Minister, and even during Devendra ji's term, we introduced a 10 per cent quota and upheld it in the High Court. But then the MVA government took over and failed to protect it. When we returned, we reinstated that 10 per cent," Mr Shinde told NDTV.
