Govt is trying to ensure justice to his demands within the framework of Constitution,” Munde said. Her remarks came in response to Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut ’s recent claim that PM Modi was keen to induct Fadnavis into the Union Cabinet. Jarange is demanding caste certificates for Marathas whose Kunbi records have been traced, as well as implementation of provisions from the Kolhapur, Satara and Mumbai Gazetteers to recognise Marathas as Kunbis. “Govt has constituted a panel of ministers led by Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil to hold discussions with Jarange.
“Such a decision cannot happen without the approval of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) or PM Modi. Fadnavis is an impactful and academically strong leader. I have worked with him for the last two-and-a-half decades. I can only pray that he grows beyond the position he currently holds.
Kolhapur: State environment minister and BJP member Pankaja Munde on Thursday said chief minister Devendra Fadnavis was required in the state amid opposition claims that he was soon to be inducted into the Narendra Modi-led Union Cabinet. He is, however, needed where he is today,” Munde said, while speaking to reporters at Kolhapur Airport during her day-long visit.
