Ahead of Rahul Gandhi's upcoming visit to Maharashtra, Mumbai BJP leader Ashish Shelar criticised the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and demanded an apology for his comments on 'reservation' and 'Veer Savarkar".

Speaking to ANI, BJP's Ashish Shelar said, "Rahul Gandhi is coming to Maharashtra, and I want to say two things with great respect. First, Rahul Gandhi should apologize to Chaitya Bhoomi and seek forgiveness from Babasaheb Ambedkar for his remark about the reservation. Why is he opposing Dr Ambedkar's constitution and reservation? If Rahul Gandhi doesn't respond, BJP will protest."
