Maharashtra will see two protests today, in the name of reservation. In the first, Maratha Kranti Morcha leader Vinod Pokharkar has announced a Jail Bharo Andolan. He said, "On August 1 we will start a Jail Bharo Andolan. In Mumbai, members will assemble at Azad maidan where we will peacefully protest for our demands." In the second protest, Dhangars are to agitate for their demands.

Dhangars to protest
Prakash Shendge, leader of the Dhangar community, said in Pune, "Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis promised before the elections that the Dhangar community will get reservation as soon as BJP comes to power. But it seems that he has forgotten this. Now the Dhangar community will protest against the government." Umesh Utekar, vice president of Dhangar Samaj Kruti Samiti said, "We will hold a peaceful meeting for couple of hours on Wednesday, and later decide on the line of action."
