In a recent interview, activist Manoj Jarange accused the Maharashtra government of deliberately fuelling tensions between the Maratha and OBC communities. Jarange, who spoke exclusively to ABP Maza after being discharged from a hospital, alleged that certain government officials harbor animosity towards the Maratha community.
Jarange claimed that around 8-9 individuals within the government hold ‘hatred’ for the Maratha community, promising to reveal their identities at an opportune moment. He emphasized that the government is intentionally pushing new leaders to the front while sidelining others to create divisions among groups.
The activist is advocating for the implementation of a draft notification that would grant Kunbi certificates to Marathas, making them eligible for government job and education quotas. This comes amid protests and hunger strikes across Maharashtra, with OBC activists demanding assurances that their quota will remain unaffected.
