Mumbai, May 3 -- The protests seeking quotas for Marathas are "not even an issue" this election in Maharashtra and will not damage the BJP, Piyush Goyal, India's textiles, consumer affairs, commerce and industry minister, who is fighting his first Lok Sabha election from North Mumbai, told HT in an interview on Thursday.
Goyal stressed that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its alliance partners will "sweep" Maharashtra in the upcoming elections. "We will sweep the state, the Mahayuti (the alliance of the BJP with the Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party) is going to be the winner in all the seats," he said.P11
