Activist Manoj Jarange on Thursday warned that if Marathas face betrayal over quota, they will "make them (governing parties) bite the dust" in polls and asserted that all members of the community would be included under the OBC category, reported news agency PTI.

The quota movement leader was talking to reporters at a private hospital in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, where he was admitted after calling off his 5-day-old hunger strike in Mumbai to press for reservation in education and government jobs for Marathas.

Jarange ended his stir on Tuesday after the Maharashtra government announced the formation of a committee to issue Kunbi caste certificates to Maratha community members with historical evidence of their Kunbi heritage, a social group classified as an Other Backward Class (OBC) in the state.
