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.
