: The Maratha Kranti Morcha on Saturday passed a resolution demanding that the Union government increase the limit of reservation.

Rajendra Date-Patel said that the conveners also want the two bills involving the suggestions of a MPs committee for enhancing the reservation limit be passed by both the houses of the Parliament in the winter session. The Morcha has warned of staging a protest in Delhi if their demand is not met.

“We have also passed a resolution demanding the government to extend the reservation limit to 75% so that all those communities seeking reservation will get it,” he said.

Date-Patil had approached the Supreme Court seeking a review of its order staying the Maratha reservation. “We also want the state government to address other demands, which are not embroiled in any legal controversy like providing funds to Sarathi as well as Annasaheb Patil Financial Corporation, scholarship for the research students,” he said.

The members have also planned to meet all the MPs from Maharashtra to urge them to write to the prime minister and the president to ensure that the pending bills related to reservation be approved in both the houses of Parliament.
