Speaking to reporters outside the Vidhan Bhavan here this morning, Patil, who wore yellow turban, carried a folded blanket on his shoulder and a stick in hand, said the state government has forgotten the promise of providing reservation to the Dhangar community, which it had given during the elections.
"The BJP, which had promised to provide reservation to the community in 2014, is doing injustice with the Dhangar community. Three and half years have passed since then and it seems the government has forgotten the community," he said.
"The NCP wants to remind the government about the promise it had made to the community, and draw the government's attention towards the issue," he said.
Patil, who attended the Assembly session in the Dhangar attire, told the House that he has chosen this way to draw the government's attention towrds the Dhangar community's demands.
