Nationalist Congress Party (Shradchandra Pawar) President Sharad Pawar on Friday made a major demand from the BJP-led central government. He appealed to the government to bring a constitutional amendment to increase the existing reservation limit in education and government jobs to more than 50%. Talking to reporters in Sangli, Sharad Pawar said that while they are giving quota to Marathis who are agitating for reservation, care should be taken that there should be no hindrance in such restrictions imposed on other communities.
He said that currently the reservation limit is 50 percent, but if it can be 78 percent (including quota for various communities) in Tamil Nadu, then why can’t there be 75 percent reservation in Maharashtra. The center should come and bring a constitutional amendment to increase the quota limit. We will support the correction.
“Distribution of seats in the MVA should be done as soon as possible”
Sharad Pawar said talks between the leaders of the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi Alliance (MVA) on seat allocation for the assembly elections will continue next week. My advice is that they should complete the talks as soon as possible, so that we can go to the people and make them aware of the government’s failures. People are looking for change.
MVA’s allies NCP (SP), Shiv Sena (UBT) led by Uddhav Thackeray and the Congress recently fought the Lok Sabha elections as an alliance. Here, by winning 30 out of 48 seats in the state, MVA dealt a major blow to the BJP-led alliance. Maharashtra assembly elections will now be held in November. In such a situation Sharad Pawar said that people decided to change the government. MVA should respect their feelings.
The Mahayuti government also surrounded with strength
He also strongly pushed the Mahayoti government of Maharashtra. He claimed that the state government is indulging in populist schemes but not even spending the money intended for other important areas. The government aid fee for the Senegal Cancer Hospital is more than 4 million rupees. The backlog of aid to cancer hospitals across the country amounts to Rs 700 crore. I was told that since the money was supposed to be channeled into populist schemes, the administration was powerless. If this is the case in the medical field, what can be said about other fields.
According to him, there is anger in the country over incidents like the Badalpur affair, where a contract sweeper allegedly sexually assaulted two innocent girls on their school grounds. The accused later died in an alleged shootout with the police.
Praised Nitin Gadkari and Prime Minister Modi
When asked about Union Minister Nitin Gadkari’s comment that the ‘Nurse Girls’ scheme which provides financial assistance to women may affect timely payment of subsidies in other sectors? Sharad Pawar said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also called such programs “religious culture”, which should be stopped.
recite ballads in praise of Gadkari
He said that Gadkari has a constructive and non-political approach towards development. The roads improved during his tenure. He is the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways. When asked about Gadkari’s claim that the opposition had offered him the post of Prime Minister several times, Sharad Pawar said that we had not made such an offer. If we do not have the required number of MPs, how can we make such a proposal.
