"Pass A Bill In Winter Session": Maratha Quota Activist Reminds Eknath Shinde Of Deadline

The government is left with no other option but to give reservation to his community, Manoj Jarange, who has been leading the latest agitation to seek quota for the Maratha community in government jobs and education under the OBC category, said.

 Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange on Tuesday urged the Maharashtra government to pass a bill to provide reservation to Marathas in the upcoming winter session of the state legislature instead of convening a special session for it.

Addressing a rally in Thane, the home turf of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, he reminded the government of the December 24 deadline he set before it to give reservation to the community, and said if the demand is not fulfilled by that time, then after that, the agitation cannot be handled by the government.
