Maratha Quota Activist Warns Politicians Over Reservation
Manoj Jarange-Patil, a Maratha quota activist, is upset.
He's warning Pankaja and Dhananjay Munde, plus Ajit Pawar, that their political jobs could be in danger if they don't back off.
The issue is whether the Maratha community should get a quota, or special spots, in government jobs and schools under the OBC category.
Jarange is reacting to statements made by Pankaja Munde, who doesn't want the Marathas to get the quota.
Jarange says he'll make sure that politicians who don't support the quota will lose the next election.
Manoj Jarange-Patil warned Pankaja Munde and Dhananjay Munde.
Jarange stated he will ensure the defeat of Ajit Pawar's party candidates.
The dispute involves the Maratha community's OBC quota.
Pankaja Munde opposes granting Marathas OBC reservation.
The government issued a resolution on September 2 to implement the Hyderabad gazetter allowing eligible Marathas to apply for Kunbi caste certificates.
