MUMBAI: Maratha leader Manoj Jarange-Patil has scaled down his plan of holding rasta rokos twice a day. Jarange-Patil scales down rasta roko plan The Maratha leader, who is on a fast at Antarvali Sarati, has demanded the immediate implementation of the ‘sage-soyare’ government resolution by which Marathas’ blood relatives and relatives by marriage will all get Kunbi certificates that will entitle them to reservation under the OBC quota. Jarange-Patil’s ostensible reason for calling off the evening rasta rokos was that school and college examinations as well as various community functions were on in the state, and people must not be inconvenienced. Who is Bhujbal to question us?” Leader of the opposition Vijay Wadettiwar said that Jarange-Patil should not take Marathas for granted and ought to be content with the reservation the government had granted.
