Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Dhananjay Munde on Monday said that the Banjara community should be given Scheduled Tribe status in Maharashtra like some other states, reported the PTI.

He was addressing a rally held in Beed by the community seeking ST status under the Hyderabad Gazette, which leaders claimed is being used to give Kunbi certificates to Marathas following the agitation by activist Manoj Jarange.
