Mumbai (<keyword id="19897316" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="maharashtra" source="keywords">Maharashtra</keyword>) [India], March 12 (ANI): The Maharashtra government has constituted a <keyword id="20085377" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="special-investigation-team" source="keywords">Special Investigation Team</keyword> (SIT) to investigate the allegations of conspiracy and violence during the <keyword id="19936356" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="maratha" source="keywords">Maratha</keyword> agitation stir in Maharashtra. Nashik Commissioner of Police <keyword id="20496135" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sandeep-karnik" source="keywords">Sandeep Karnik</keyword> will be the head of the SIT. The SIT was formed on the instructions of the Maharashtra assembly speaker after the matter of threats issued to Deputy Chief Minister Fadanvis was raised in the Assembly by BJP MLAs. On February 28, speaking in the Maharashtra Legislative Council, CM Eknath Shinde said ""Many leaders have become big on the issue of Martha reservation, <keyword id="20040954" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jarange-patil" source="keywords">Jarange patil</keyword> raised demands for Maratha reservation he didn't had any political background and even I went to him. Keeping all the protocols aside I visited him twice. But now he is making remarks against DCM, our ministers and on the government... why? He is using low level language against the DCM, this language is not of karaykarta it's a political language. There are many other castes leaving in the state but this is an attempt to creat conflict between castes too. We won't tolerate such language against anyone. So let SIT investigate the matter and let the truth come out (doodh ka doodh paka pani hone do)" "We have given reservation to Maratha and it will stand in the court too all the guidelines and norms of court has been studied properly and accordingly. We have given reservation, there is no injustice done on any other community but people are spreading rumours that this reservation won't stand in court why? Who is spreading this?" the Maharastra CM said. Jarange-Patil's Maratha reservation campaign is accused of receiving financial support from 'political associates,' and it is alleged that he made inflammatory remarks during the course of the campaign. The Maharashtra State Government had indicated that if Jarange Patil's agitation for the Maratha Reservation is politically motivated, funded, and intended to cause unrest, a comprehensive SIT inquiry would be conducted to assess its implications on law and order in the state. The demand for an inquiry was raised by BJP MLA Ashish Shelar, after which Mharashtra Legislative Assembly Speaker <keyword id="20924374" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rahul-narvekar" source="keywords">Rahul Narvekar</keyword> ordered a SIT probe. Jarange Patil's appeal reportedly led to a significant road blockade in Beed district, causing inconvenience to the public. The police responded by registering a case against him. Additionally, 25 other cases related to traffic jams have been registered in different locations across the Beed district. (ANI)

Maharashtra govt constitutes SIT to probe violence during Maratha agitation

<keyword id="1851542" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="maratha-groups" source="Orion">Maratha groups</keyword> continued their protests for the third day across several districts in the state to press for reservation for the community here on Tuesday. Alarmed by the spread of agitation, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has convened an all-party meeting in Mumbai on Wednesday to discuss and resolve the issue. Maratha legislators from all political parties staged a protest near the Gandhi statue outside Mantralaya in Nariman Point and are likely to meet Governor Ramesh Bais later demanding a special legislature session to finalise the community quotas. The great grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, Tushar A. Gandhi said that the Centre had very successfully engineered violence in New Delhi to scuttle the anti-CAA-NRC protests that had become a big embarrassment for the government. "Now the same modus operandi has been employed in Maharashtra to defame and derail the Maratha reservation agitation," said <keyword id="97377" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="tushar-gandhi" source="Orion">Tushar Gandhi</keyword> sharply. Another incident of arson on a government office was reported from Jalna where a village panchayat office was torched by some unknown persons raising pro-quota slogans. Scores of Maratha activists lay down on the railway tracks in Solapur and blocked the passage of at least one long-distance train even as police attempted to clear the railway lines. A local office of the Bharatiya Janata Party was set ablaze at Naiknagar in Hingoli district, while a large number of Maratha activists got down in a stream in Pune for a 'jal-samadhi' protest. Public bus services remained shut for the second day in parts of Parbhani district and in Malkapur, Buldhana district, protestors smeared black paint on posters of the CM on a vehicle. Scores of Marathas launched relay hunger strikes at Chunabhatti in Mumbai and Mungse village in Nashik district demanding immediate announcement of quotas. Schools and colleges remained shut on Tuesday in Shevgaon, Ahmednagar district and students participated in the protests. In Pune, protestors blocked the Pune-Bengaluru Highway by throwing burning truck tyres on the Navale Bridge and squatting on the road, raising anti-government slogans, as 10-km long traffic snarls developed on both sides of the important thoroughfare. A large number of activists took out a symbolic 'funeral' procession of the state government in Tembhurni, Solapur district, while half a dozen services of the Nagpur-Pune sleeper bus services were suspended for the day. In Beed, which was rocked by large-scale arson and violence on Monday, a Nationalist Congress Party (SP) activist <keyword id="13209654" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="yogesh-kshirsagar" source="Orion">Yogesh Kshirsagar</keyword> alleged that the torching of his MLA brother Sandeep R. Kshirsagar was "a pre-planned conspiracy". "Before setting our house on fire, someone had snapped off the power supply here, the miscreants who indulged in stone-pelting were carrying bottles filled with petrol, and the police proved totally incapable of stopping them," claimed Yogesh Kshirsagar. The Shivba Sanghatana President Manoj Jarange-Patil, whose indefinite hunger strike entered the seventhday on Tuesday, again appealed to his supporters in the state to refrain from any violence and carry out a peaceful agitation.

Dhananjay is leading by 30,701 votes. She faced a tough fight against Zaydatta Kshirsagar from Shiv Sena and her cousin Dhananjay Panditrao Munde. Honoured with ‘Powerful Politician’ award in 2017, Pankaja was expected to win the Parli assembly seat in Beed district, <a href="https://www.republicworld.com/india-news/elections/maharashtra-exit-poll-bjps-pankaja-munde-projected-to-retain-parli.html">according to exit polls</a> by Republic TV. She defeated her cousin in 2014 elections by a margin of 25,895 votes. That accounts for 13.24% of the total votes in Parli. The two cousins — Pankaja and Dhananjay — have been in talks over their political rivalry. An FIR was filed against Dhananjay for passing offensive remarks against Pankaja in an election rally. A businesswoman in the sugar factory sector and Maharashtra’s Minister of Rural Development, Women and Child Welfare, Pankaja was aggressively involved in election campaigns — attending almost five rallies a day. In 2016, Pankaja was accused in ‘<a href="https://www.indiatoday.in/india/west/story/pankaja-munde-rs-206-crore-scam-chikki-scam-fadnavis-259462-2015-06-24">Chikki scam</a>’ for violating rules for procuring goods worth ₹206 crore. Pankaja refuted the allegations against her and dismissed demands of resignation. The Maharashtra AntiCorruption Bureau (ACB), however, gave her a clean chit. Pankaja Munde has had a family history in Indian politics. She is the daughter of BJP’s Gopinath Munde — who was a five-time MLA in Maharashtra and popularly called as ‘Lokneta.’ In the 2014 elections, Gopinath won in Beed district and also took up a union minister position. However, as fate would have wanted it, he died of a heart attack while in a car within a week of taking charge.
