BJP Rajya Sabha MP, Udayanraje Bhosale Friday asked the Maharashtra government to promulgate an ordinance to facilitate reservation to the Maratha community who are dismayed after the Supreme Court passed an interim order on not to implement the reservation for 2020-21 in education and jobs.
Bhosale said that until the final ruling of the Supreme Court comes, the state government should promulgate ordinance so that the Maratha community gets benefit of the reservation. Bhosale said he will strongly stand by the Maratha community.
