The protestors' health was fast deteriorating and the government was afraid that the OBCS would take to the streets in a big way if anything untoward was to happen. Bhujbal himself is an OBC leader who commands tremendous goodwill among his community.
Hake and Waghmare's demand was that reservation, if granted to Marathas, should not be at the expense of the 29 % quota reserved for OBCs.
Hake and Waghmare were informed by the cabinet delegation that an all-party meeting would be held during state assembly session, which will start on Thursday June 27 in Mumbai.
The meeting has been conveyed by chief minister Eknath Shinde to consider the OBCs' demand and also the demand of Maratha leader Manoj Jarange Patil that OBC certificates be given to "sage soyare" (close and distant) relatives of Marathas.
