MUMBAI: Republican Party of India (Athawale) president and union minister of state for social justice and empowerment Ramdas Athawale on Sunday announced a Maratha-Dalit Aikya rally on November 11 in Kolhapur. Athawale said that they have decided to hold the rally now at Kolhapur on November 11. He was in Chandrapur.

The event was planned for October 19, to show solidarity between Dalit and Marathas in the backdrop of protests carried out by both the communities for their demands. But the event was postponed following riots in Nashik after a teenager allegedly attempted to rape a minor, an RPI leader said.

The rally was postponed after some senior BJP leaders spoke with Athawale.
