Amid a debate on Maratha and OBC reservations in Maharashtra, Mumbai BJP President Ashish Shelar targeted NCP-SP Chief Sharad Pawar and asked about his opinion on Maratha protestors demand that they need reservations from the OBC quota, reported news agency ANI.

"Sharad Pawar is a senior leader and reacting on his statement over something might not have been appropriate if his statement was clear. We want to know when protest for Maratha reservation was going on, by looking at the fear of OBC community, all-party meeting was called by CM (Eknath Shinde). At that time your party NCP-SCP was not ready to attend the meeting, Uddhav Thackeray`s party and Congress were also not ready to come. Why did you people not attend the meeting. Now everyone wants to know, what is your opinion on Maratha protestors demand that they need reservation from OBC quota," Ashish Shelar said, reported ANI.
