The Maratha quota agitation has the chief minister in a bind. Even the party is no help

The Isolation Of Fadnavis

Devendra Fadnavis was visibly grim at the all party meeting convened on July 28 to discuss the agitation by Maratha protesters demanding reservations. “It is in the high court; my hands are tied,” the chief minister said, appealing to the 20 coalition and opposition party representatives to help quell the protests.

Maratha protesters, who are seeking 16 percent reservation in government jobs and educational institutions, have been on a rampage, torching vehicles and blocking vehicular traffic across the state. They have threatened to force a complete shutdown after August 9. The fury of the Marathas has quite literally confined the chief minister to his Mantralaya office in Mumbai. Fadnavis also appears to be isolated in his own party, with not one of his cabinet colleagues or BJP functionaries offering any help.
