NCP (SP) chief urges CM to call an all-party meeting
He also urged Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to convene an all-party meeting. The sticky issue of reservation, according to observers, may decide the results of the upcoming assembly polls.
Pawar said, "The judiciary has put a 50% ceiling on reservation in the country, but all parties in Maharashtra should come together and urge the Centre, which has the power to change the limits. If that is done, we will support it fully."
His response came after a delegation led by Maratha Kranti Thok Morcha leader Ramesh Kere Patil called upon him at his residence in Pune and submitted a memorandum of demands.
