Amid the row over the Maratha quota that it will result in encroachment of other communities reservation, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde reassured on Monday that his government will give the reservation to the Maratha community without making any kind of change in other communities reservation.

"We will keep in mind that whether it is OBC community or any other community, reservation to the Maratha community will be given without making any kind of change in their reservation. Our view from the beginning has been to provide such reservation which meets the criteria. I have said this openly as Chief Minister and both our Deputy Chief Ministers have also said the same", Shinde said while speaking with the media.
