Quota politics continued to shake up the state legislature on Day 2 of the winter session. With the declaration of reservation for Marathas, the Opposition demanded a similar quota for the Muslim and Dhangar communities, too, with some legislators even attempting to steal the Speaker's sceptre. The ensuing ruckus forced the state assembly to a halt, while the upper house, too, was adjourned for the day over the same demand.

Earlier in the morning, enraged legislators Abdul Sattar, Amin Patel, Aslam Sheikh (from the Congress), Abu Azmi and Asif Shaikh (Samajwadi Party) tried to capture the Speaker's sceptre when the ruling party did not respond to Opposition leader Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil's motion for taking up the discussion on reservation and tabling the report of the Backward Class (BC) Commission, which has endorsed a quota for the community.
