New Delhi:
Devendra Fadnavis, born a Brahmin, has emerged as a true advocate for the Maratha community. His leadership has been marked by unwavering dedication to the welfare of Marathi youth.
Under Fadnavis's leadership, the BJP government initiated impactful schemes, notably the establishment of the Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj Research, Training, and Human Development Institute (SARTHI) in Pune in 2018. This move yielded remarkable results, with 51 IAS and 304 Class One officers posts secured by Maratha youth.
Breaking barriers, the Fadnavis government empowered economically weaker students, enabling them to study abroad through the Sayajirao Gaekwad-Sarthi Scholarship Scheme. This initiative expanded educational opportunities beyond the traditionally privileged Maratha elite.
In a historic moment, Fadnavis addressed a longstanding demand by securing Maratha reservation in 2018. Despite Congress and its allies being in power for over 70 years, it was under Fadnavis's tenure that this crucial reservation received approval in the Assembly. However, the Maha Vikas Aghadi failed to defend it in the Supreme Court.
Undeterred, the committed BJP government in Maharashtra, guided by Fadnavis, ensured the realization of the Maratha reservation dream. The Maharashtra legislature unanimously approved a bill granting 10% reservation in jobs and education to Marathas.
Fadnavis's track record stands in stark contrast to other leaders, emphasizing action over rhetoric. As the opposition spreads falsehoods, it is essential for them to introspect and acknowledge the tangible strides made for the upliftment of the Maratha community under Fadnavis's leadership.
