Big decision regarding Kunbi certificate and validity
After the meeting, Manoj Jarange Patil said that the government has agreed to give Kunbi certificates to eligible people on the basis of 58 lakh Kunbi records. Besides, validity certificate will also be provided to those who have received the certificate.
He said that if officials are negligent or deliberately delay in giving certificate to any eligible person, then action will be taken against them. The government has assured to issue necessary orders in this regard.
Jarange Patil said that the demand for implementing Satara Gazetteer has also been placed before the government. The government has been given one month’s time in this matter. He expressed hope that the government will take necessary steps in this direction within the stipulated time.
Apart from this, a special helpline number will also be issued to solve the problems related to validity certificate, so that people do not have to visit the offices.
Government decision will be issued in two-three days
Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil said that work is already going on on many decisions taken by the government after the Mumbai movement. However, there was confusion and doubts in the society regarding some issues, due to which the movement started again.
He said that the government under the leadership of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is working in the interest of the Maratha community. Now, based on the proposal that has been accepted, the process of implementation will be started by issuing a Government Decision (GR) within the next two to three days.
However, Manoj Jarange Patil made it clear that if the government does not issue the government decision within the stipulated time, then they will again adopt the path of agitation and fast. He said that he has postponed his agitation for the time being only after receiving positive assurance from the government and the Chief Minister.
Target on physical strength, demand for narco test
During the meeting, Manoj Jarange Patil also targeted Chhagan Bhujbal without taking his name. He said that if someone is making false allegations against him, then narco test should be conducted on both of them, so that the truth can be revealed to the public.
