Seizures point to thriving drug business in Maharashtra, Home minister Fadnavis accountable: Supriya Sule

Sule also took on the BJP for playing with feelings of citizens over the reservation issue. “The state BJP leaders have fooled citizens on the reservation issue. Their government, despite having a full majority in state and Centre, has not been able to take a firm decision on reservation. This has disappointed people. Three Maratha youths and one from the Dhangar community have died by suicide over the issue, in just the the last fortnight. On one hand, BJP has stalled the recruitment process of government jobs while actually reducing the number of government jobs. On the other hand, BJP has been busy with mere paper work on reservation,” she said.

Sule also said that BJP leaders take different stands at the state level and national level. There is no uniformity on the matter of reservation, because of which reservation for Marathas, Dhangars, Lingayats, and Muslims has been delayed. “NCP raised the issue repeatedly in Parliament. In the past, BJP MPs from a few states, ahead of Assembly elections, made the Union government approve the legislation for providing reservation for various communities in their state, but BJP parliamentarians from the state failed to do the same as they have double standards. We have been long demanding for the Bill to be approved, but the government is ignoring it. The government should call a special session for passing the reservation Bill for all communities, which we will support,” Sule said
