The Maharashtra government would file a review petition in the Supreme Court next week against the May 5 ruling of the top court which quashed reservation in jobs and education for the Marathas, a senior minister said here on Thursday. BJP MP Sambhajiraje Chhatrapati, who met Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray during the day, said the ongoing agitation for quota will not be withdrawn. Speaking to reporters after the meeting which lasted for over two hours, PWD minister Ashok Chavan appealed the Rajya Sabha member to withdraw the agitation.
