Protests demanding Maratha reservation in government jobs and education turned violent in Maharashtra's Beed district. Agitators vandalized and set on fire the homes of two Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLAs, Sandeep Kshirsagar and Prakash Solanke, along with former minister Jaydattaji Kshirsagar's office. The violence intensified after activist Manoj Jarange Patil's hunger strike. Amid the unrest, BJP MLA Laxman Madhavrao Pawar and NCP District President Rajeshwar Chavan resigned in Beed, reflecting the gravity of the situation. Protests continue as the opposition Shiv Sena (UBT) calls for a special parliamentary session to address the Maratha reservation demands.
