Sharad Pawar meets with Shinde to discuss Maratha quota issue, fortnight after all-party meet boycott
Mumbai: Almost a fortnight after the Opposition boycotted an all-party meeting called by the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government on the Maratha quota issue, Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) chief Sharad Pawar Monday met with the chief minister, primarily to discuss the issue at a time when Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil has started a fresh round of protests. This meeting comes a day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah called Pawar “sardar of corruption”, and said that Pawar had institutionalised corruption.
While the focus of the meeting was the Maratha reservation issue, topics such as water resources, milk prices, and pending issues related to sugar mills were also on the table.
