Unhappy with the state sops declared on Tuesday, the Maratha community has threatened a Maharashtra Bandh on October 10. It wants clarity on the quota that has been stayed by the apex court, and has demanded that the state government give them a share in the 10% quota that the Centre had declared for economically weaker sections in the general category.

The community's 50 leaders had a roundtable meeting in Kolhapur on Wednesday under the 'Ek Maratha, Lakh Maratha' banner. They passed 15 resolutions putting additional financial and political burden on the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. The community put the entire responsibility of lifting the interim stay and winning the court case on the MVA. The Marathas were given a quota of 12% in jobs and 13% in education in 2018.
