Only Centre can grant ST status to Dhangar community: Maha CM
Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis told activist Deepak Borhade, on an indefinite hunger strike, that only the Centre can grant Scheduled Tribe (ST) status to the Dhangar community. "This is a constitutional matter, and different from the Maratha reservation issue," he added. He, however, assured that state government would hold talks with the Centre and submit a proposal on this matter.
