Manoj Jarange Vows Mumbai March as Maratha Quota Fast Enters Second Day
The activist says he will march to Mumbai if the state does not act by Sept. 12, while officials say they are reviewing legally valid demands.
- On Monday, Manoj Jarange continued his indefinite hunger strike at Antarwali Sarati village in Jalna district, setting a September 12 deadline for the Maharashtra government to accept his demands for Kunbi caste certificates.
- Jarange's primary demand involves Kunbi recognition for Marathas, seeking access to OBC reservation benefits similar to Other Backward Class groups. He claims 58 lakh genealogical records link Marathas to Kunbi history.
- On Sunday, Jarange criticized Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's Parbhani rally, asking, "Why are you bringing Shinde here to dance on our chests? Why hold this programme now in the name of farmers?" He opposed the "political event."
- Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis responded Sunday, expressing willingness to discuss "legally valid" demands that comply with Supreme Court orders. He stated the government is "going forward to resolve their demands."
- Failing government action by September 12, Jarange has threatened to lead demonstrations by Marathas in Mumbai. The administration continues balancing competing demands of Marathas and OBCs amid the quota dispute.
