On Saturday, 26 June, hundreds of protestors, along with BJP party workers of Maharashtra unit were detained by Mumbai Police for planning to hold 'chakka jam' protest across the state, demanding the restoration of reservation for the OBC in local governing bodies.
- The party had earlier announced that it would hold agitation at 1,000 locations across the state.
The protestors had planned for a 'Chakkajam', but just before they could start their march toward the Secretariat, Mumbai police detained several protestors including ex Maharashtra minister Girish Mahajan, Mumbai BJP President Mangal Prabhat Lodha, and MLC Rahul Narvekar.
- All the detained protestors have been taken to the Marine Line Police station, police said.
Meanwhile, in Nagpur, police detained former Maharashtra CM and LoP Devendra Fadnavis during the protest over the OBC reservation.
Slamming the MVA government for their incapacity of protecting OBC reservations, MLA Kalidas Kolambakar said, "The MVA government has failed to protect the OBC's reservation. The issue can be solved through Centre Government's intervention, and our leader, Devendra Fadnavis can help with the same. The MVA leaders should come to him to take his help over the issue, but they would not come because they would rather delay it. It is a matter of credit taking for them."
