Maratha protest group to turn into political party
Sambhaji Brigade, one of the groups organising Maratha protests across Maharashtra, is set to become a political party, reports said on Wednesday. The party reportedly plans to contest the Zilla Parishad and Brihanmumbai Municipal Council (BMC) elections. "The people need an alternative as political parties have failed them," Sambhaji Brigade president Manoj Akhare said.
