Maratha Quota's Deadline Ends On Dec 24
Asserting that 80 percent of the struggle for Maratha reservation had been won and that the war was nearing its end, quota activist Manoj Jarange claimed on Friday that the Maharashtra government had just two days to meet the demand.
Addressing a rally in Selu, Parbhani district, Maharashtra's Marathwada area, Jarange urged the crowd to be cautious and stated that the time has come for the Maratha people to win reservation.
Jarange has gone on indefinite hunger strike twice this year in order to gain quota for the Maratha people. He said that the administration was given 40 days to fix the problem, but nothing occurred. The administration was later given until December 24 to remedy the matter.
If the government does not solve the matter by then (December 24), the community will march towards Mumbai, tightening the state's "economic" noose.
