He also said that it was necessary to resolve the issue of the Maratha reservation legally and the government has filed a curative petition in the Supreme Court for this, reported ANI. The agency said Jarange Patil also consumed water after a satisfactory discussion with Shinde.


The protests on Monday turned violent after agitators resorted to arson and vandalism in various parts of the state targeting the homes and offices of MLAs. They also attacked a municipal council building and caused massive disruptions in road traffic, news agency PTI reported. Two NCP MLAs' houses were set on fire, and the office of another legislator from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was vandalised.


As a precautionary measure, internet services have been suspended in Beed and central Maharashtra while a curfew has also been imposed in sections of the Beed district following incidents of large-scale violence and arson.
