Maharashtra minister Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil on Monday said the government is working on a solution to the Maratha quota issue, which will stand in the court of law, reported news agency PTI.

Activist Manoj Jarange, who is staging a hunger strike at Azad Maidan in south Mumbai, has vowed to stop drinking water from Monday, the fourth day of his agitation, over his demand for reservation to the Maratha community under the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category.

Vikhe Patil, who heads a cabinet sub-committee on the Maratha reservation issue, met Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday night to discuss the situation.
