Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj, Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil and Dr. Bharat Ratna to open the doors of education to the Bahujans, OBCs and Backward communities in the progressive Maharashtra. Babasaheb Ambedkar worked tirelessly. But the current government in the state is trying to turn the wheels of history upside down again. In a sense, this is a conspiracy to defeat the ideology of Phule, Shahu, Ambedkar.

Depriving the Bahujan Samaj, OBCs, Backward Classes and Minorities of education is a hidden agenda of the Bharatiya Janata Party and it is likely that this decision was taken accordingly.
