BJP MLA Quits to Back Maratha Community: BJP MLA Resigns in Support of Maratha Reservation Demand

In a significant move, Laxman Pawar, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Beed district in Maharashtra, tendered his resignation from the legislative assembly to express his support for the Maratha community’s long-standing demand for reservation. The Maratha quota issue has been unresolved for years, and Mr. Pawar’s resignation is aimed at backing the Maratha community’s quest for government job and educational institution reservations.

Key Points:

• Laxman Pawar, representing the Gevrai assembly segment, emphasized the pending nature of the Maratha quota issue as he announced his resignation.
• Mr. Pawar sent his resignation letter to the legislative assembly speaker, Rahul Narwekar, marking his commitment to support the Maratha community’s demand for reservation.
• The BJP is a component of Maharashtra’s Shiv Sena-led ruling coalition, which also includes the NCP (Ajit Pawar faction).
• This move by Mr. Pawar follows the resignations of Shiv Sena MPs from Nashik and Hingoli in Maharashtra, who are staunch supporters of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. They also resigned in support of the Maratha reservation demand.
• Activist Manoj Jarange is leading the Maratha community’s fresh agitation, which is aimed at achieving a quota in government jobs and educational institutions. He has been on an indefinite fast in a village in Jalna district since October 25.
• The Maratha quota agitation escalated on Monday, with large-scale violence reported in Beed district.

This development highlights the growing momentum of the Maratha community’s efforts to secure their rightful reservations.
