Reiterating demand for Maratha reservation in government jobs and educational institutions, petitioner for Maratha reservation Vinod Patil said, "It's been one and a half year since Eknath Shinde government came into power, despite being Maratha strongman, still no action has been taken in favour of Maratha community. Maharashtra is the only state in which all four parties comprising the opposition and those in power have all been in power in the same term."
