Maratha quota activist says he was breaking his hunger strike as state government has agreed to 6 of his 8 demands. CM Fadnavis says he is ‘happy’ a solution has been found.
What makes it perplexing is that Shinde has been the troubleshooter—someone known to establish back-channel communications—who convinced Jarange to call off protests until now.
As his hunger strike entered the fifth day, Jarange Patil said that his protest is in line with the path shown by democracy and resolved to stand firm on his right to protest.
Jarange-Patil, who has vowed not to leave Mumbai until his demand is met, has trained his ire at CM Devendra Fadnavis while striking a softer tone with deputies Shinde and Pawar, both Marathas.
Report will be presented in cabinet meeting during special assembly session called for 20 February. CM Eknath Shinde urges Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil to call off fast.
CM Eknath Shinde’s announcement that Marathas will be given all benefits enjoyed by OBCs till they get reservation has evoked criticism from Senior OBC leader Chhagan Bhujbal.
Shinde govt Friday issued draft order to extend quota benefits associated with Kunbi caste, part of OBCs, to paternal kin of eligible persons and relations forming out of marriage.
Despite Mumbai Police issuing a notice to him denying him permission for hunger strike in city, Jarange announced Thursday that he will reach Azad Maidan in south Mumbai next day.
