Congress leaders in Maharashtra on Frida♛y demanded that the state government take steps to increase the limit o𝕴n total reservation on the lines of Bihar.
Party leader Vijay Wadettiwar, who is also the Leader of Opposition in the assembly, said in a post on X that 𒈔if the ceiling, currently at 50 per cent, is raised, all issues related to reservation will🧜 be resolved.
Maharashtra earlier t✱his month witnes✱sed a reintensified agitation for quota by the Maratha community.
T💜he state government should take up this issu⭕e in the next legislature session, Wadettiwar demanded.
Senior Congress leader Ash🍰ok Chavan said in a statement that the Bihar assembly has increased the overall quota to 75 percent and "why can't it happen in Maharashtra."
The state government should take steps to𒁃 waive the quota limit in the coming winter session of the assembly which will help the Maratha community get reservation, the former chief minister said.
The BJP, which is part oꦚf the government in Maharashtra, supported the quota bill in the Bihar assembly, he noted.
