Slamming the Maratha quota agitation spearheaded by Manoj Jarange for making foul remarks against the mother of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, the BJP on Monday lashed out at Jarange, who has warned of launching a new phase of agitation for the Maratha quota in government jobs and education later this week. This came after the activist harboured hatred towards Fadnavis and his family.

Moreover, senior BJP leader and MLC Pravin Darekar further addressed that, "Civilised Maharashtra will never forgive Jarange. The Bombay High Court has banned DJs and high-decibel sound systems (during social events), and the responsibility (for enforcement) lies with the police, but Jarange attacks the CM's mother (over the issue)," as cited by news agency PTI.

BJP leader Darekar further asked, "Obsessed with personal hatred towards Fadnavis, he insulted his mother. A person who uses such foul language cannot be a follower of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. On one hand, he praises (NCP-SP president) Sharad Pawar, while on the other he abuses the Chief Minister's mother – what kind of agitation is this?" as cited by news agency PTI.
