Senior NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal has said the Maratha community in Maharashtra should be given reservation in government jobs and education without disturbing the existing quota for OBCs. He also criticised the Modi-led government over various issues, including the Rafale jet deal.

"Without disturbing the quota for the Other Backward Classes (OBCs), the Maratha community should get a reservation. Nowhere the law says that reservation cannot exceed above 50 per cent," Bhujbal said Saturday at the Samta Melava, a conclave on social equality, here in Maharashtra.
