"manoj-jarange"

The government is giving protection to Mughal emperor Aurangzeb's grave, and at the same time there is a demand (from right-wing outfits) for its removal, Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange said

As the hunger-strike gets longer and the date of Maharashtra Assembly elections looms closer, Maratha groups have issued calls for a shutdown (bandh) in Beed and Osmanabad districts

Says he had to take the step as Maharashtra government failed to fulfil promise on reservation issue

Warns that if Maharshtra government fails to resolve issue immediately, he would stop taking intravenous fluids again

CM Shinde, accompanied by some of his ministerial colleagues, visited Antarwali Sarati village in Jalna district, where the protest was on, and met Jarange in the morning.
