Mumbai: Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange on Tuesday accused the Maharashtra government of failing to fulfil its promises to the Maratha community and warned of launching a fresh hunger strike in Mumbai on August 29, reported PTI.
The activist has launched multiple hunger strikes demanding that all Marathas be recognized as Kunbis, an agrarian caste classified under the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category and reservation in government jobs and education for the politically influential community, reported PTI.
He has consistently advocated for the implementation of historical records, such as the Bombay, Satara, and Hyderabad gazettes, which he claims provide documented evidence of the Maratha community being classified as Kunbis.
