Stating that the Maratha quota agitation has erupted “like a tsunami” across Maharashtra, quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil on Wednesday warned the Eknath Shinde-led government that the Maratha community would not give it any respite until a quota was given to the community by December 24.
Addressing a massive rally at Dharashiv (formerly Osmanabad district) on the first day of his renewed Statewide tour, Mr. Jarange Patil said that except a few Other Backward Class (OBC) leaders and Ministers at the top, the OBCs in the rural hinterland fully backed the community’s demand for Marathas to be included in the OBC Kunbi community.
“Even the Brahman Mahasangh and the Mali community among others have expressed their support for our demands,” claimed the activist.
