In a bid to counter Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil, leaders from the other backward class (OBC) communities will be staging a massive rally in Mr. Jarange Patil’s stronghold of Ambad tehsil in Jalna district.
The rally is likely to see the attendance of several influential OBC leaders cutting across party lines, including Maharashtra Minister Chhagan Bhujbal of the Nationalist Congress Party (Ajit Pawar group), Congress leader and Maharashtra Leader of the Opposition Vijay Wadettiwar as well as BJP national secretary Pankaja Munde among others.
Former legislator and OBC leader Prakash Shendge said the rally would be “historic” and that the country would see the fragmented OBC camps coming together.
