Maharashtra minister and Other Backward Class (OBC) leader, Chhagan Bhujbal on Saturday said that the draft notification issued by the state government providing Kunbi certificates to all Marathas as a mere "eyewash", and said caste is determined by birth and not affidavits. He questioned his own government saying that, 'It's backdoor entry of Marathas into OBC category.'

The veteran OBC leader, Bhujbal spoke with the media after here after Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange ended his indefinite hunger strike on Saturday morning after the state government accepted all his demands in regards to reservation for Maratha community.
