Bhujbal had said that his resignation letter is still with Shinde, but now he is planning to step down as mla from Yeola (Nashik) in the interest of the society and for the larger objective of ensuring justice to OBCs. At the same time, maratha movement leader Manoj Jarange said that if maharashtra minister and OBC leader Chhagan Bhujbal create obstacles in the path of reservation for the maratha community, he will challenge the Mandal Commission.

Received death threats on phone 12 times

Last year, Chhang Bhujbal had received messages threatening to kill him 12 times on his phone. Bhujbal had to face the wrath of the maratha community due to his strong opposition to giving quota from the existing OBC reservation. ncp group leader Manoj Ghodake had lodged a complaint at Pundalik nagar police station. As a precautionary measure, maharashtra and mumbai police had increased personal security cover and beefed up security outside Bhujbal's home and offices in mumbai and Nashik.
