Maratha quota deadlock deepens as Jarange, Mahayuti leaders trade barbs
MUMBAI: The deadlock between Maratha quota leader Manoj Jarange Patil and the Mahayuti government over Maratha reservation continued on Wednesday.
Maratha quota leader Manoj Jarange Patil said Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde were responsible for the poor state of the Maratha community in Maharashtra. He alleged that the two leaders were not interested in providing reservation to the Maratha community.
He also alleged that Shinde was conspiring against the community by attempting to pit Marathas against Marathas and derail the protest over its reservation demand.
