"Talks of reservation for the Marathas has been going on since many
years in Maharashtra, but if decisions are taken keeping the (upcoming
assembly) elections in mind, then the results of Lok Sabha elections are in front of us. Otherwise Food Security Bill
would have been a game changer for them (Congress),"Union Information and Broadcasting Minister, Prakash Javadekar said,
while speaking to reporters here after visiting Doordarshan office here.
Javadekar was on his first visit to Mumbai after taking over the charge. He said his only aim was to make Doordarshan the first choice of viewers and added talented artistes and workers would now be included in the organisation.
On being asked if a Congress leader will get a Leader of Opposition status, Javadekar said it is the prerogative of the Speaker. "It is a decision to be taken by the Speaker. The government will not decide on the issue. Only the Speaker will decide," he said.
