BJP Member of Legislative Council (MLC) Parinay Fuke has openly criticized Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange's demands, suggesting that the Maratha youth should instead benefit from the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) quota introduced by former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
In response, Jarange has announced a significant agitation effort scheduled to begin in Mumbai on August 29, involving the community in a widespread mobilization campaign. He insists the Maratha community must remain steadfast until reservations are achieved, emphasizing strong community participation under the banner 'one household, one vehicle'.
Jarange's activism, demanding OBC recognition for Marathas, includes hunger strikes and rallies, solidifying his stance despite Fuke's dismissals, essentially framing the upcoming agitation as a defining moment for their existential battle.
