Reportedly as soon as the issue of maratha Reservation became heated, now the issue of OBC Reservation has come to
the fore. State minister Chhagan Bhujbal has adopted an aggressive stance regarding OBC reservation.
Chhagan Bhujbal has alleged that the government is conspiring to exclude us from the OBC category.
OBC leader Chhagan Bhujbal said that efforts are being made to give Kunbi certificates through the back door
to those who cannot be given reservation legally and cannot get the benefits of reservation. On the other hand,
a dual program is going on to oust those who belong to the OBC community from the OBC community by
fighting in the High Court. After seeing Chhagan Bhujbal's stance on maratha reservation issue, Manoj
Jarange has now reacted on it. Jarange said that his question is will we do or die. Our motto is fight and win.
If we have not got reservation yet then where have we encroached? What we are asking for is our right.

On the other hand, OBC leader Prakash Shendge has responded that we will not allow the Maratha
community to try to infiltrate into the OBC community. Prakash Shendge said that Chhagan Bhujbal should
fight by staying in the government, we will fight by staying outside. Prakash Shendgen also announced that
lakhs of OBCs will take to the streets to maintain reservation and an OBC march will be taken out in Ambad
on 17 November. He also said that OBC organizations will go to court against the appointment of Shinde
Committee.
