Amit Gorkhe Takes Oath as MLC
Commitment to Uplift Hindu Matang Community
On Sunday, Amit Gorkhe took the oath as a Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) in Maharashtra. He promised to work hard for the upliftment of the Hindu Matang community and scheduled castes. Gorkhe stated, “BJP has given this representation to our society and I will work very hard to uplift them. Our caste community is known as ‘Hindu Matang’. I will work for the upliftment of the scheduled castes. There are 59 scheduled castes in Maharashtra and we will work for the upliftment of all, whether it is education, water, or any facilities. This journey has just begun; we have to move ahead now.”
Support for Devendra Fadnavis
Gorkhe also expressed his support for Devendra Fadnavis, saying, “Only Devendra Fadnavis can give justice to both OBCs and Marathas in Maharashtra. The opposition is setting false narratives against him. When Devendra Fadnavis was the CM, he gave reservations to Marathas. The people know that OBCs are with the BJP. The opposition is spreading a narrative that they (Marathas) are against Devendra Fadnavis, but no one will buy this narrative. Only Devendra Fadnavis can bring quality to both the communities (OBCs and Marathas) and rest, our community (Matang) is with BJP, because all the work for our community has been done by the BJP.”
