In Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange recently warned the state government about potential consequences if it proceeds with elections without addressing the Maratha community's demand for reservation. Jarange called for a large gathering of Marathas at a Dasara festivities event in Narayangadh, Beed district, emphasizing that he will not back down on the demands, including the withdrawal of criminal cases against community members. He stressed that the government will face repercussions in the upcoming elections if it neglects the Maratha community's demands. Jarange urged unity among Maratha community members in their fight for reservation, highlighting the importance of dignity and equality for Marathas. He criticized some within the ruling party for obstructing progress on granting reservation to the Maratha community. The state government, led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, has been slow in addressing the issue, leading to growing discontent among the community and uncertainty from political parties, including the ruling coalition.
