Maratha reservation: Political leaders cheated the community, says Sambhaji Raje

By
Yuvraj Chhatrapati Sambhaji Raje 

By Dheeraj Fartode
Scion of Kolhapur royal family Yuvraj Chhatrapati Sambhaji Raje, who is descendent of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, on Saturday said that the political leaders cheated Maratha community over reservation issue and hence, 90 per cent of the community members continue to be live Below Poverty Line (BPL) status. “We are creating pressure group in the State to get reservation to Marathas,” said Sambhaji Raje.
Addressing a ‘meet the press’ programme at Tilak Patrakar Bhavan organised jointly by Nagpur Union of Working Journalist (NUWJ) and Tilak Patrakar Bhavan Trust, Sambhaji Raje said, 56 pro-Maratha reservation organisations are with him for the cause and this issue is getting tremendous response across the State.

Sambhaji Raje is on ‘Shiv-Shahu Yatra Rayat Jagar Abhiyan’. The yatra that started from Shivneri fort on November 23 arrived in city on Saturday. “We are not against reservation to Other Backward Classes (OBC) or any other community. The government should raise upper limit of reservation, which is 52 per cent at present,” he said.

He further said that the government was positive on providing reservation to Maratha community. Reservation to the community will not hamper the reservations given to people belonging other communities,” he claimed. Response of a committee, which was set up by the government under chairmanship of Industries Minister Narayan Rane, is positive, he informed.

Talking about status of Shivaji Maharaj’s forts, the scion of royal family accused government for continuous carelessness of forts. “Condition of great forts of Shivaji Maharaj is deteriorated because the government had not paid any attention. The government should prepare a plan on the lines of Rajasthan, where the government had given package for their forts, and developed it as the tourist spot. It will definitely boost tourism sector of  the Sate,” he added.

“The government should adopt first five major forts including Rajgad, Raigad, Purandar, Panhala and Sindhudurg and restore them,” he said. Sambhaji Raje further wanted that the government should not provide Charas and Ganja to Sadhus in Kumbhamela, which will be organised at Nasik next year.
President of Sambhaji Brigade Pravin Gaikwad, Prof Jemini Kadu, President of Tilak Patrakar Bhavan Trust Pradip Maitra, Secretary of NUWJ Anupam Soni and others were present at the press conference.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

By
IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script also ha

Longest cable-stayed bridge to boost tourism at Ambhora

By
CONSTRUCTION work of 700-metre-long cable-stayed bridge, longest in the country, with a viewing gallery at the top at Ambhora in Kuhi tehsil is near completion. The bridge would be open for traffic in December this year providing a major boost to tourism at Shree Chaitanyeshwar Mahadev temple at Ambhora. It is set to open doors of development for the backward area of Kuhi and Umred tehsil. Ambhora, located 75 km from Nagpur city, is a famous religious and tourist place in Vidarbha. It is situated at the confluence of five rivers -- Wainganga, Kanhan, Aam, Kolari and Murza. Just around a decade ago the river bank housing Ambhora used to see a flux of tourists from all over the State. However, the banks were submerged in water after the construction of Gosikhurd dam which led to rise in water levels. Since then, tourist flow at Ambhora has also declined. However, now with the construction of the new bridge tourists will get a chance see the scenic backwaters across the river bed which is
