Similar Initiative Taken About 5 Years Back

Padalkar had done similar kind of tour five years back where he tried to raise the issues faced by Dhangar community in the state and tried to attract the govt towards those issues. This time his aim is to consolidate the community and make them aware of the reservation issue and get their support.
