Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule accused Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray of undermining Maratha reservation efforts. He maintained that the BJP-Shiv Sena-NCP government protects Maratha and OBC interests. Bawankule criticized Pawar's stance on Maratha reservations and accused Thackeray of abandoning Hindutva, urging citizens to question Thackeray's political actions.

Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Thursday launched a scathing attack on opposition leaders Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray, branding them as the 'assassins' of Maratha reservation. He asserted that the BJP-Shiv Sena-NCP government has always safeguarded the interests of Marathas and OBC communities.

Bawankule reacted to NCP chief Sharad Pawar's recent comments urging the Union government to not remain silent on the Maratha community's ongoing agitation for reservations in jobs and education. Bawankule argued that the central government has no role in the issue.

The BJP leader accused Pawar of consistently opposing Maratha reservations. He also criticized Thackeray, alleging he abandoned Hindutva and gained support from Muslim hardliners, and called for scrutiny of Thackeray's tenure as chief minister.
