Maharashtra Minister Girish Mahajan said that Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange's desire to incorporate the term 'sage soyare' in the Maratha reservation notice will not be legally supported. In Marathi, the term "sage soyare" refers to both biological and marital relationships, reported PTI. 

Per the report, speaking to reporters in Pune on Wednesday, the BJP leader accused the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi of using the Maratha reservation issue for political gain and pointed out that the previous Devendra Fadnavis government granted the Maratha community quota without it affecting allocations to other communities.
