Maharashtra: LoP Vijay Wadettiwar Writes To CM Shinde Seeking Hike In Security After Receiving Threat Messages
Maharashtra: Leader of Opposition in Maharashtra Assembly, Vijay Wadettiwar has written to the Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Monday demanding to increase security given to him after he received threat messages.
Vijay Wadettiwar had recently criticised Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil’s demand for Kunbi (OBC) caste certificates, suggesting it would not benefit Maratha youths causing a fresh row in the long-standing issue.
Wadettiwar’s Concerns For OBC Sub-Castes
Expressing concern, Wadettiwar, also the OBC face of the Congress in Maharashtra, argued that granting ‘Kunbi’ certificates to Marathas would be unjust to the 372 sub-castes under the OBC category. He emphasized the need for a thorough survey by the backward commission to determine eligibility.
Wadettiwar raised fears within the OBC community that granting OBC status to Marathas might jeopardize their existing rights. He questioned the credibility of the survey results, suggesting an increase from 11,500 to one lakh people eligible for OBC status, potentially impacting the OBCs.
While clarifying that OBCs are not against Maratha reservation, Wadettiwar objected to Marathas securing reservation from the OBC quota. He proposed that Marathas could benefit from the EWS category within the 50% reservation cap, avoiding potential conflicts.
Jarange Patil’s Retaliation
Jarange Patil retaliated, accusing Wadettiwar of neglecting the poor and downtrodden. He rejected personal remarks, asserting that their fight for justice doesn’t make them heroes, but rather a community standing up against conspiracies aimed at breaking their agitation.Jarange Patil questioned Wadettiwar’s motives, alleging opposition interference despite records confirming their cause. He challenged Wadettiwar’s loyalty, asking if external pressure or a potential switch in allegiance led to his stance against Marathas.
Political Motivations And Committee’s Extension
In response, Jarange Patil questioned Wadettiwar’s objection to Marathas speaking against the government. He alleged that some type political pressure or a planned switch prompted Wadettiwar’s stance, supporting the government from being criticised.

State ready for Zilla Parishad and Gram Panchayat Mahayuti elections: Chief Minister Fadnavis
In the Zilla Parishad and Gram Panchayat elections in Mumbai state, Mahayuti will contest the election as a united front and even where there is no electoral consensus in Mahayuti, there will be a friendly contest and it is hoped that the people of the state will trust Mahayuti in these elections. This claim has been made by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. No formula for the distribution of seats in Mahayuti has been decided so far for the local body elections. However, where the alliance party and the BJP are strong, a formula for a solo contest has been decided, just like the talk of Eknath Shinde in Thana and BJP’s solo contest in Pune is common.
Fadnavis criticized Uddhav Thackeray and said that it is his job to insult him. If he is visiting the state, it is a good thing, but the people know everything and they will restore faith in Mahayuti in the elections. He said that the Election Commission has announced the elections. Uddhav Thackeray and the opposition want to postpone the elections, so they are alleging irregularities and rigging in the voting list. However, the Supreme Court has issued instructions to hold the elections soon, so it is not possible to postpone or delay the elections. Fadnavis expressed confidence that he has faith in the people. This time too, the people will agree with Mahayuti. Therefore, the opposition wants to postpone and postpone the elections, while Mahayuti is ready for the elections.
Mumbai: Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi has expressed his anger over Nitesh Rane statement and has given a befitting reply and said that no one’s father has India. He said that Nitesh Rane constantly shows provocations and no action is taken against him. Many cases have been registered but no action is taken. Sharjeel Imam, Umar Khalid are in jail but they are free. They did not show any provocation. The Supreme Court has directed strict action against hate speech but why does the government not take action against such elements who spread hatred.
