The Hindu
Jarange Patil has set a 40-day deadline for the Eknath Shinde-led government to take steps towards implementing reservations for the Maratha community
Manoj Jarange Patil, the activist advocating for Maratha quota, on October 18 alleged that Other Backward Classes (OBC) are receiving ‘excessive benefits’ from the reservation system. He added that the Maratha community in the State should receive the quota benefits as originally recommended by the Mandal Commission for the backward classes.
The 40-year-old activist, who recently brought the Maratha quota issue to the forefront in the State by staging a hunger strike in Jalna district, was in Mumbai on Wednesday.

Mr. Jarange Patil has set a 40-day deadline for the Eknath Shinde-led government to take steps towards implementing reservations for the Maratha community.
“The government established the Mandal Commission and set the reservation limit at 14%. How was the limit later increased to 30 to 32%? If Marathas are included in the OBCs, it wouldn’t affect their quota,” Mr. Jarange Patil said.
He alleged that in the past, other communities added to the reservation list did not have to provide various documents papers. “But when it comes to the Marathas, they are asked to submit numerous documents in order to get the reservation benefits. The OBCs are getting excessive benefits of reservation,” he said.
