Maratha Quota: Manoj Jarange Patil goes on hunger strike, Fadnavis says Govt willing to hold talks

CJP founder Abhijit Dipke has voiced his support for Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil, stating that people are increasingly losing faith in the government due to issues related to education and employment. Dipke emphasized that protesting is always the "last option" after repeated requests and appeals fall on deaf ears, as people gradually lose confidence in the government's ability to provide quality education and employment opportunities for their children.

The protest, according to Dipke, is focused on securing quality education for children belonging to the Maratha community. He reiterated that nobody enjoys protesting, as it is the ultimate recourse when all other avenues have been exhausted. Dipke pledged to meet Jarange Patil and extend his support to the ongoing protest, highlighting the importance of standing in solidarity with those advocating for the well-being of Maratha community children.
