The BJP leader made seven demands on behalf of the community during the most recent meeting. These included renaming Ahmednagar Ahilya Nagar, appointing senior counsel Kumbhakoni to represent the community in the Bombay High Court regarding Dhangar reservation, and putting the community’s welfare schemes into action.
Padalkar has been spearheading the campaign for the last year, holding protests across the state to raise awareness of the “Dhangar” reserve. According to Padalkar, all administrations have failed to carry out the Constitution’s reservation of the Dhangar people under “Schedule Tribes.” Maharashtra recently saw violent demonstrations in response to the demand.
