Maratha quota | Jarange-Patil claims Maharashtra government planning to trap and arrest him

Even as Maratha quota agitators staged road blocks in a number of villages under the direction from Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange-Patil on Saturday, the activist claimed that the government was making attempts to frame him in a case and get him arrested.

“Attempts are underway to trap me and get me arrested. But I am going to foil these with the help of the Maratha community,” Mr. Jarange-Patil said, speaking in Antarwali-Sarati village in Jalna district.
