State’s lawyers failed to convince court that Gaikwad Commission report was not one-sided, says Fadnavis
The Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday flayed the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government for failing to fight hard for the community’s interests in the Supreme Court to get the Maratha quota law implemented in Maharashtra. Former Chief Minister and BJP Leader of Opposition (LoP) Devendra Fadnavis rued the sheer lack of coordination between the State government and the lawyers who were making the case for upholding the quota law. “The Supreme Court’s judgment is especially disheartening given that our previous government had successfully made the Maratha quota law stick in the Bombay High Court despite the reservation being challenged, and had strongly put forward our case before the Supreme Court where it was challenged again by a petitioner,” said Mr. Fadnavis.More Related News
