After 'Maratha reservation' gained popularity and focus in Maharashtra, the Brahmin community from the state has come forward to demand their quota and reservation. As per reports, a Brahmin organisation has decided to protest at Azad Maidan on January 22 with their various demands.
Vishwajeet Deshpande, coordinator of the Brahmin organisation, in a press note, informed that the 10 per cent reservation granted by the Parliament will be challenged in the courts. Hence, keeping the same in mind, the brahmin community also requires a reservation, separately.
