In a post on X, Bhujbal pointed out that while many protests have taken place in Mumbai over the years, none had pressured the government in such a way
He alleged that some protest leaders claiming to represent the Maratha community were not true leaders
Bhujbal claimed that before the protest even began, it was pre-decided what demands would be made and how the government would respond, showing signs of a pre-planned strategy
Bhujbal clarified that he is not against Maratha reservation or reservation for Kunbis, but he opposes granting Maratha community OBC status under pressure
