Jarange-Patil called off stir after govt assured him Marathas whose family tree could be established through Hyderabad Gazette would get Kunbi certificates, making them eligible for OBC quota.
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.
Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil is demanding that the Maharashtra government issue Kunbi certificate for the community under the OBC category.
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.
Most Lok Sabha seats in Marathwada are set to witness Maratha vs Maratha contest, with exception of Beed. Experts say for voters, it will be choice between 'opportunism & loyalty'.
RBI Handbook of Statistics shows state’s GSDP has more than doubled in past decade, finishing second behind Maharashtra. It has performed well across health & education parameters as well.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
