The Shiv Sena (UBT) has made a significant demand, calling for a 20% reservation of houses in Mumbai buildings for native Marathi speakers. The demand was presented by Leader of Opposition Ambadas Danve and Milind Narvekar in a letter to Minister Shambhuraj Desai. The Housing Minister, Eknath Shinde, has previously rejected this proposal, stating that no such letter was received by his department.The Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders argued that this reservation would help in preserving Marathi culture and language in Mumbai. The demand was made in response to a question raised by Milind Narvekar in the legislative council regarding a social organization's request for 50% housing units to be reserved for Marathi people. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, who is also the Housing Minister, responded that no such letter was received by his department.
The current demand by the Shiv Sena (UBT) is a continuation of their efforts to promote Marathi unity. In the past, the party has made similar demands, but they were not implemented during the Maha Vikas Aghadi government led by Uddhav Thackeray. The new demand has sparked debate and is likely to be a contentious issue in the political landscape of Maharashtra.
