<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.

He will pay floral tribute to the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, after which he will address the gathering. Stating that the Maharashtra government has accepted their request, Patil who started his hunger strike on Friday, said the protest was over now. "Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has done a good job. Our protest is now over. Our request has been accepted. We will accept the letter from him. I will drink juice at the hands of the Chief Minister," Patil said this while addressing a press conference on Friday night. Referring to the demands of giving Kunbi certificates to all 54 lakh people whose data has been found till now, Patil said that they will be given the certificates soon. "54 lakh entries were found for our fight. They will be given the certificate soon," he said. Earlier on Friday, Patil warned the state government that if their demands were not met, then protestors would march towards Mumbai on Saturday morning. He also urged the Maharashtra government to withdraw all the cases registered by the police regarding the demand for Maratha reservations in the state. Meanwhile, Maharashtra Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha said that the ordinance that was passed has the solution to all the problems, so there is no need to continue the protests. "A movement that was going on in Maharashtra for the Maratha reservation under the leadership of Manoj Jarange Patil has reached a solution. The ordinance that was passed has the solution to all the problems. Manoj Jarange Patil has announced that since the solution has been received, there is no need to continue the protests. CM Eknath Shinde will end Manoj Jarange Patil's fast with juice. The movement has reached a solution," Lodha said on Friday. On May 5, 2021, the Supreme Court struck down reservations for the Maratha community in colleges, higher educational institutions, and jobs after noting that there was no valid ground to breach a 50% reservation while granting a Maratha reservation.

Maratha reservation activists celebrate after Maha govt accepts their demands

<ul><li>Deepika Padukone became one of the select few - and probably the only A-list star - to have reacted to the JNU mob violence. </li><li>She met the JNUSU president and left without speaking a word. </li><li>A few marketing experts believe that she is playing the ‘promotion’ card. </li></ul>Deepika Padukone has often been criticised for her ‘safe’ fashion sense. What she may lack in sartorial experimentation, she might make up for with her actions. She became one of the select few - and probably the only A-list star - to have reacted to the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) mob violence. She met the JNUSU president and left without saying a word. Nonetheless, it spoke volumes on how few entertainment industry leaders have <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/deepika-padukone-on-protests-across-india-proud-we-arent-scared-2160356">shared their views on controversial subjects during sensitive political crises. </a>Even the reigning trio - Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and the usually outspoken Aamir Khan too stayed away from commenting on it. “It is a bold move as when stars step out and speak on political, religious and economic issues, they are targeted,” Harish Bijoor, a marketing consultant and branding expert told Business Insider. For the last few weeks, Padukone has been wearing the mask of an acid attack victim and walking around the streets of Mumbai in a unique promotional campaign. However, her solidarity to JNU has unmasked many top actors who had refused to take a stand on burning issues like the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) — the bone of contention which led to the attack on the university. Ajay Devgn, a leading actor in the Bollywood industry himself, had candidly accepted his inability to speak on the issue. “If we (himself and co-actor Saif Ali Khan) say something, it will offend someone and my film <keyword id="7162500" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="tanhaji">Tanhaji</keyword> will be banned. Who will suffer? The producer, that’s me,” he told the Quint <a href="https://www.thequint.com/videos/ajay-devgn-on-citizenship-amendment-act-nrc-npr-protests">in an interview</a>. From protests to theatres However, Ajay’s problems might be different from that of Deepika. In his movie, he plays the army general of Hindu rulers — the Marathas — so it can be defined as a patriotic movie. But Deepika’s movie Chappak which is to be released on January 10 — based on the real-life story of an acid attack victim — is expected to draw young, urban audiences. And, most college-going students are busy protesting - and a few naysayers would indicate that she is trying her best to bring protesting audiences to theaters. Anti-CAA protests <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/entertainment/news/dabangg-3-lost-15-of-its-weekend-business-due-to-caa-protests-but-thats-not-the-only-reason/articleshow/72933171.cms">already ate into the business of another possible top grosser,</a> Dabangg3. Her last release — Padmaavat — gained from <a href="https://www.exchange4media.com/marketing-news/do-controversies-around-movies-impact-revenues-100690.html">the excessive negative</a> publicity it received. It also helps that Deepika plays the role of a girl seeking social justice. However, few marketing experts believe that she is playing the ‘promotion’ card. Some others say that she could be playing safe. “Nobody who has a film coming out is talking because this move can go either way, and lead to boycotting. But then again, Deepika never spoke during the violence at Jamia Milia,” opined a top branding expert who refused to be identified. All publicity need not be good publicity Bijoor said Deepika’s persona does not make him believe that it’s a publicity stunt. “I do not think it’s a marketing gimmick. If it is, then it’s a bad one and won’t work because people will see through it,” he said. There is some backlash from Twitter already. <div type="twitter" handle="TajinderBagga" handlename="Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1210169713617096704/IYLeHKV3_normal.jpg" favoritecount="11060" retweetcount="5845" status="PR agency saying @deepikapadukone was in JNU for FILM Promotion but in actual She was part of Protest where Tukde-T… https://t.co/Lnx1ClxLvq" createdat="1578431758000" id="1214656950173982720"></div>

 However, this is not the first time that Deepika has made bold moves uncharacteristic to Bollywood stars. She openly spoke about her struggles with clinical depression. In addition, she took a very powerful media house when it tweeted a picture of her cleavage in a bad light. <div type="twitter" handle="deepikapadukone" handlename="Deepika Padukone" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1207176068227948544/uhVZMLvd_normal.jpg" favoritecount="5852" retweetcount="6223" status="Supposedly India's 'LEADING' newspaper and this is 'NEWS'!!?? http://t.co/D3wiVVXuyM" createdat="1410683577000" id="511070081946644480"></div>

 The old saying goes — all publicity is good publicity. However, this might not be true anymore in a country simmering with political, religious and ideological differences. Since there are enough supporters on either side of the spectrum, Padukone might gain as many fans as she lost. Whether her movie will gain from it not — only time will tell.
