In the wake of the Maratha reservation uproar, Congress leader Digvijaya Singh held Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis responsible for the same. "Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is himself responsible for facing the ire of the Maratha and Dhangar communities on the issue of reservation. He himself had promised to resolve the issue within a month," he said at a press conference here on Monday.

After the Maratha community called for a protest seeking reservations in government jobs, Fadnavis had cancelled his visit to a temple in Pandharpur town on Sunday. The Chief Minister cancelled his 'mahapuja' of Lord Vitthal at Pandharpur temple, in the wake of the agitation. In this regard, Digvijaya launched a veiled attack at Fadnavis, saying visiting the temple was a personal belief and not a political issue.
