Maharashtra ministers Sandipan Bhumre and Atul Save on Saturday met Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange and handed him a copy of a document extending the scope of the Shinde Committee formed to study the feasibility of giving Kunbi certificates to community members.
"The Shinde committee's scope has been extended from Marathwada to all of Maharashtra," said Bhumre. Among the demands of Jarange is that Marathas be given Kunbi certificates so that they can get reservations under the Other Backward Classes segment.
The Eknath Shinde government had appointed a committee under retired judge Sandeep Shinde to study this demand. Jarange said, "It is good Marathas across the state will get Kunbi certificates. Our chain hunger strikes are on and we will not stop till we get a reservation."
