Members of different Maratha organisations came together in Belagavi on Tuesday to demand a Ministerial berth for an MLA from the Maratha community, in the Basavaraj Bommai Cabinet. They demanded that the BJP appoint either Kagwad MLA Shrimant Patil, who has been dropped in the reconstituted Ministry, or other Maratha MLAs from BJP, including Anil Benake from Belagavi North or Rupali Naik, MLA from Karwar, as Minister. They threatened to launch a State-wide protest after holding district-wise meetings of the community, if the demand was not met. They said that the community’s population in the State was around 70-80 lakh and it could influence poll results in several Assembly and Parliament seats across North Karnataka. They said that the community will be constrained to reconsider its support to the BJP if it continued to neglect its leaders.
