maratha reservation: ‘Should the community take to the streets and blow each other’s heads off for reservation?’

New Delhi: The 102nd Amendment destroyed the states. But even this new amendment will not do justice. The new amendment is to ‘get out of the fire and throw it in the bubble’. The Maratha community in Maharashtra, the Patidar community in Gujarat, the Lingayat community in Karnataka and the Jat community in Haryana want reservations. The Maratha community carried out peaceful agitation in the number of lakhs, setting an example for democracy. Dhangar Samaj did. Other communities also respected the agitation, said Shiv Sena MP Vinayak Raut.

The central government introduced an amendment bill on reservation, but it is incomplete. He gave a plate of sandalwood and a gold plate to eat. But nothing on the plate. No salt, no pickles. No panchpakwanna. The ministers are saying that they have given a lot to the states. But what exactly was given? Whether Maratha community or Gurjar community made any provision for their reservation? Raut demanded that the government should clarify this.

The Maratha community does not want a share of 27% of OBCs. No share from any other reservation. All communities are demanding extra reservations. But what does the government’s Amendment Bill provide for them? There is nothing in the bill. The central government will say, we passed the bill. But I did not give anything in hand. The Maratha community has a feeling that why should the central government do the job of wiping leaves from our mouths. If you want to make a reservation for this, give it in full, demanded Raut.

In the Indira Sahni case, the Supreme Court had 30 years ago imposed a 50 per cent limit on reservations. But now 2021 is on. The population of the country is 130 crores. The number of reserved communities increased. The Maratha community is 35 per cent and the Dhangar community is 10 per cent. There are Muslim communities. Fifteen states in the country have increased the reservation limit by 50 per cent. Haryana, Mizoram, most of the northeast and Tamil Nadu have also increased the reservation limit. Celebrating 75 years of independence. “Now we want justice,” Raut said.

Will Marathas in Maharashtra, Patidars in Gujarat, Garjur in Rajasthan be brought under 50 per cent reservation? It is alleged that the new amendment gives the central government a chance to take to the streets and blow each other’s heads off. We want justice. But do not argue with justice. There should be no quarrel between OBC and Maratha communities for reservation. Vinayak Raut said that 27% reservation of OBCs should not be touched.

‘Give reservation to Maratha community by removing 50 per cent reservation limit’, Congress demands in Lok Sabha

While empowering the states, reservations should be given considering the social status and not the political situation in the states. The bill was expected to provide reservation at 50 per cent. But there is no such provision in the bill. Do communities in Maharashtra want to take to the streets again to protest? Do communities in Maharashtra and other states come out against each other for reservation? But who will judge the truth? The god of democracy is crying out on the streets. Has been fighting for justice for three years. Even then, if justice is not being served in the temple of democracy, then who should be questioned? This question was asked by Vinayak Raut.

maratha reservation: 127th Amendment Bill on Reservation; The center threw

The new amendment bill is an attempt to put pressure on the state government. States cannot do anything. On what basis do you want to make a reservation? This is not clear at all. Remove 50 per cent reservation limit on states. Vinayak Raut demanded that the states should be allowed to give reservation to those who want it, and the Parliament should stand by the Maratha community and give assurance.
