Jarange Raises Quota Pitch Amid CM Olive Branch

MARATHA quota leader Manoj Jarange on Friday tore into the Maharashtra government, describing it as more dangerous than the British. He claimed that the government had "blocked water and food supply" to the Maratha protestors.

In contrast, CM Devendra Fadnavis expressed confidence in achieving a peaceful resolution through dialogue regarding the community's demand.

Jarange, who is on an indefinite protest, said that after their arrival at Azad Maidan in Mumbai, the Maratha community people were not getting even water and food. He alleged that police forced many hotels and restaurant owners in South Mumbai and near Azad Maidan to shut down, resulting in protestors being deprived of water and food.
