Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange on Thursday said he will "challenge Mandal commission" if Maharashtra minister and OBC leader Chhagan Bhujbal created hurdles in the way of reservation for the Maratha communit, reported the PTI.

According to the PTI, Manoj Jarange also warned that if the government did not implement its assurance to give Kunbi caste certificates to "sage-soyare" or blood relatives of those who have already established themselves as belonging to the Kunbi community, he would launch a fresh hunger strike from February 10.
