Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil has launched an indefinite hunger strike in Jalna district, Maharashtra, protesting the delay in implementing reservation promises. Despite assurances from the state government and talks with Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil, Jarange refused to withdraw his protest, demanding the immediate issuance of Kunbi caste certificates and implementation of the Satara Gazette. He is conducting the strike in an open area under intense heat, refusing food, water, or a change of location. https://www.andhrajyothy.com/2026/national/maratha-quota-activist-jarange-patil-begins-hunger-strike-under-scorching-sun-avr-1528164.html #creator program
