Union Minister of State for Social Justice Ramdas Athawale on Wednesday said the Centre should provide separate reservation to "Kshatriya communities" such as Marathas, Jats, Rajputs and Reddys.

Commenting on the Supreme Court's judgement striking down a Maharashtra law granting quota in government jobs and education admissions to the Marathas, Athawale alleged that the Shiv Sena-led state government did not present its case properly.
