In Jalna district, Maharashtra, Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange commenced an indefinite hunger strike on Saturday. He accused Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis of harboring resentment towards the Maratha community and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde of tacitly supporting him. Fadnavis allegedly harbors a grudge against the Marathas, while Shinde is purportedly providing discreet assistance through Minister of Social Justice Sanjay Shirsat.
If the government fails to address the pending quota issues, Jarange vowed to march to the Chief Minister's residence in Mumbai. The hunger striker demanded the dissolution of the caste verification committee and threatened to persist in his agitation until all issues are resolved. Jarange has led numerous agitations, launching nine hunger strikes since August-September 2023, advocating for Maratha reservation under the Other Backward Class (OBC) category.
He claims that the state government is reluctant to see the Maratha youth progress, despite the existence of valid historical records.
