Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange-Patil on Sunday levelled serious allegations against Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis, taking everybody by surprise. He claimed several attempts had been made to poison his saline bottle while he had been on a hunger strike.
“Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis wants to finish the Maratha influence and the community from the State. He wants my sacrifice. I march towards his residence, Sagar Bungalow, right now,” Mr. Jarange-Patil said in his hour-long speech from Antarwali-Sarati village in Jalna district of Maharashtra, addressing supporters gathered in large numbers.
His declaration on a march to the Deputy CM’s residence resulted in chaos. “I will march alone with the support of a stick,” Mr. Jarange-Patil said, even as his supporters tried to calm him down and take the microphone away from him.
