Maratha quota: Jarange-Patil begins yet another hunger strike in Jalna

The Hindu  

Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange-Patil on Saturday launched yet another indefinite hunger strike at his village of Antarwali-Sarathi in Jalna district, accusing the ruling Eknath Shinde-led Mahayuti government of not fulfilling promises pertaining to reservation for the Maratha community. The latest hunger strike — Mr. Jarange-Patil’s third — pertains specifically to the activist’s demand that the State government make good its promise of granting other backward class certificates to blood relatives of Marathas whose records proved them to be Kunbis. Unlike previous efforts to pacify Mr. Jarange-Patil, there was not much response from the top leadership of the ruling parties this time, given that Mr. Shinde is anyway planning to call a special session of the State Legislature on February 15 to discuss the Maratha quota issue. Meanwhile, Mr. Jarange-Patil’s bete-noire — OBC leader and Maharashtra Minister Chhagan Bhujbal — took a jibe at the activist, questioning the need to sit on yet another hunger strike despite being feted by the Maratha community last month for his ‘victory’ in getting the State government to issue an ordinance.
