Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange has organised a protest march from Jalna district to Mumbai to raise awareness about the Maratha community's desire for reservation in Maharashtra. The march began in Jarange's hometown of Antarwali Sarati village, where he sharply criticised the state government's perceived disregard for the Maratha reservation issue, stated a report in PTI.
According to the report, Jarange vowed to continue protesting until his death, expressing his dissatisfaction with the government's "cruel and insensitive" approach. The Maratha community had given the government seven months to resolve the reservation issue, but Jarange claimed no action had been taken during that time.
