Maharashtra CM sent delegation to him late Friday with draft order meeting his main demand of granting Marathas with Kunbi caste certificates reservation under OBC category, Patil said.
Maratha quota activist started from Jalna village Saturday after Eknath Shinde govt's failure to stop him, tells community it 'should not back down before getting reservation'.
Jarange-Patil says hunger strike will be held at Azad Maidan in Mumbai, where he will be joined by 'crores' of Marathas. SC is set to hear Maratha reservation issue on 24 January.
Through his OSD Mangesh Chivate, Shinde has been extending all the support Jarange-Patil has been asking for, earning the activist's trust & cementing his own leadership as a Maratha CM.
The Maratha quota protests have fractured old ties in epicentre Jalna. OBC and Maratha neighbours no longer chit-chat, children have been told to stop playing with each other.
As Jarange-Patil grows into the role of a pan-Maharashtra Maratha leader with his state-wide tours and rallies, organisational and financial help is pouring in from all quarters.
On 3rd leg of his Maharashtra tour in Thane Tuesday, the Maratha quota activist says they were 'protesting peacefully', suspects whether Shinde govt ‘wants to maintain law & order or not’.
As activist tours Maharashtra, youth attending his rallies say he is unlike other Maratha leaders who have failed them, and that 'if anyone can give us reservation, it is him'.
Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange-Patil will start tour from 15 November, primarily covering Thane, Raigad and Western Maharashtra in third phase of agitation.
40-year-old Manoj Jarange, whose Maratha reservation agitation has kept Maharashtra on the boil, vowed to lead a 'massive' march to Mumbai if no decision was taken within two months.

Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
