Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange-Patil on January 2 alleged that junior officers in the Justice (retd.) Sandeep Shinde committee set up by the Maharashtra government to expedite the process of granting reservation to the Marathas were behaving in a “casteist manner” while stating that the process of finding proofs showing Marathas as Kunbi other backward class (OBC) was moving at a snail’s pace.
Speaking at Jalna’s Antarwali Sarathi village, Mr. Jarange-Patil further warned the Eknath Shinde-led government that Maratha community members would storm Mumbai on January 20 in more than ten lakh vehicles.
He said that agitators would blockade the residences of Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar in Mumbai and their respective hometowns in Nagpur and Baramati if the administration tried to block peaceful Maratha quota agitators from entering Mumbai.
