Jalna: Maratha reservation activist Manoj Jarange Patil on Wednesday ended his hunger strike by drinking water offered by BJP MLA Prasad Lad, even as he maintained that he would remain firm on his demands and would call off the agitation only after their implementation begins.
Jarange said that he had accepted water from Lad but made it clear that ending the immediate hunger strike did not mean withdrawing from the demands raised by the Maratha community.
