The Maratha community will teach Maharashtra’s Mahayuti government a lesson for denying reservations and registering criminal cases against protestors, says quota activist Manoj Jarange as the state gears up for the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha elections.
Mr. Jarange, who hit the headlines for going on fasts unto death several times last year to demand reservation for the Marathas in education and government jobs, also said the community has not taken any political stand in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections though there is simmering anger against the establishment.
The community's anger and unity forced Prime Minister Narendra Modi to campaign extensively in Maharashtra, Mr. Jarange said in an interview to PTI at his village Antarwali Sarati in Jalna district.
