Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde assured that the government will prevent caste tension amid Marathas and OBCs' reservations dispute. OBC activist Laxman Hake and others ended their fast after government intervention. An all-party meeting is planned in the upcoming monsoon session to address extending reservations to Maratha descendants with Kunbi caste certificates. The government is pro-farmer and denies making decisions against their interests, contrasting earlier accusations by Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
