Fadnavis further said, ” The fight for Maratha reservation and the efforts made by Mete to build a memorial of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the Arabian sea are invaluable. Social causes are more important than politics. Mete was working in this regard. He fought for the poor and weak people of Maratha society. Due to his efforts, he has contributed to the construction of Sarathi, a government organization. ”
The Deputy Chief Minister reiterated that the government is trying to get reservation for the Maratha community while completing its work, he added.
