Maharashtra Assembly Passes Maratha Reservation Bill, Granting 10% Quota to Community

20 Feb 2024 Evaluate

The Maharashtra legislative assembly today unanimously passed the Maratha Reservation Bill, which proposes to extend reservations to the community above the 50 per cent mark.

The Maharashtra State Socially and Educationally Backward Bill 2024 proposed a 10 per cent reservation to the Maratha community in education and government jobs. The Bill, once enacted, could be reviewed after 10 years of implementation. Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde tabled this bill in the day-long special session state legislative assembly today. Now this bill will be placed in the Legislative Council.

However, opposition leaders as well as the lone member from the ruling party, NCP leader and minister Chhagan Bhujbal, stood up to object to the bill. Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis appealed for passing the bill unanimously, to which opposition leader Vijay Wadettiwar agreed. Therefore, the Maratha Reservation Bill was passed. Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange, who has been sitting on a hunger strike since February 10, had demanded that a special session be called over the issue.

The bill for 10% Maratha quota that the Mahayuti govt of Eknath Shinde has approved today is similar to the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes Act, 2018. This is the third time in a decade that the state has introduced legislation for the Maratha quota.
