Maratha leaders demand Chhagan Bhujbal's sacking after his comments on unrest during quota protest

In a blowback to Nationalist Congress Party minister Chhagan Bhujbal's speech on Friday where he took on the Maratha community by opposing their demand to be included as OBCs more Maratha organisations and Sambhaji Raje, a descendant of Maratha Warrior King Chhatrapati Shivaji, raised the demand for Maratha reservation.

"The government should either say that they agree with what Bhujbal has said or they should throw him out of the government. He is deliberately trying to create a discord between the Maratha and OBC communities. He has crossed all limits," said Sambhaji Raje, a former Rajya Sabha MP.
