‘I don’t want to lose trust of my people’: Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil on withdrawal from poll fray

The Hindu  

It is up to the people whether to support or ensure the defeat of candidates who do not believe in Maratha reservation, Maratha Quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil said. Over a year, Manoj Jarange Patil’s agitation in a poll arena has been tagged as “Jarange Factor”, which has been proved as a kingmaker in Jalna, Hingoli, Nanded, Beed, other Lok Sabha constituencies. Withdrawing from election might affect his bargaining power but people are still waiting to get instructions from Jarange on whom to vote.” 28% of the state’s population is Maratha, says the State Backward Commission. In a conversation with him, in his village ‘Antrawali Sarati’, which became the epicentre of Maratha agitation, Manoj Jarange Patil again blamed the home minister as a mastermind behind not giving reservation.
