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.
After the meeting, Patil said CM Fadnavis ‘insulted us by sending Shinde committee instead of govt representatives’. Maratha quota activist has dug in his heels at Azad Maidan.
