Maharashtra government meets after Dhangar protests turn violent

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 21 November 2023
The Dhangar community in Maharashtra, classified as a nomadic tribe, is demanding scheduled tribe status. The state government has formed a committee to study the inclusion of other castes in the ST category. Once the committee gives its report, the state will discuss it with the advocate general. The chief minister will also hold high-level meetings with representatives of the Dhangar community in the next 15 days. The community, which makes up around 9% of the state's population, is influential in at least four Lok Sabha constituencies in Western Maharashtra.

LS Polls 2024: Fierce Electoral Battle in Amethi | Smriti Irani Vs KL Sharma | What Locals Think

The Amethi Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh will be one of the most watched seats in the fifth phase of voting in the ongoing general elections on May 20. The seat was in the headlines due to the uncertainty over who the Congress will field from the constituency against sitting MP and Union minister Smriti Irani. There were speculations that the grand old party may field either Rahul Gandhi or Priyanka Gandhi Vadra from the constituency against Smriti Irani. Putting all the speculations to rest, the Congress announced Gandhi family loyalist Kishori Lal Sharma as its candidate from the constituency... on the last day of nomination for phase 5. KL Sharma will be faced with stiff opposition from Smriti Irani in Amethi.
