After breaking the movement of Manoj Jarange Patil for Maratha reservation, the Maharashtra government has taken some decision which is no less than a shock for Manoj Jarange Patil. Manoj Jarange Patil broke his fast because the Devendra Fadnavis government had talked about obeying Jaranga, but now Fadnavis has said something that Manoj Jarange is like deception for Patil and now that Jarage may start preparing himself for the fast, because he has played with him.

Actually, Maratha is the biggest face of reservation in Maharashtra, then it is the face of Manoj Jarang Patil. On one of his voice, millions of Marathas get down on the road and participate in the movement. One such movement was done by Bhimanoj Jarange Patil in the past, in which Manoj himself sat on hunger strike.

His only big demand was that all the Marathas of Marathwada should be given OBC reservation and for this the government should include all the Marathas in the Kunbi caste, which is already part of the OBC and they get the right to OBC reservation.

Manoj Jarange Patil surrounded Mumbai’s Azad Maidan with these demands. For five days, he sat in the Azad Maidan with thousands of people. When the High Court asked Manoj Jarange to vacate the Azad Maidan and the Manoj was adamant on the movement, the Fadnavis government decided that he would accept all the demands of Manoj Jarange and will implement the Maratha reservation. Manoj Jarange himself also ended his fast and said that the government has accepted the demand for Maratha reservation, so the movement is ended.

But even the week of the end of the agitation, it was not passed that a statement by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has put a question mark on this entire movement. In fact, Manoj Jarange demanded that all the Marathas be included in the kunbi and they should be given reservation, while on September 7, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that all the Marathas cannot be included in the Kunbi and neither can all the Marathas be given reservation.

Clearing his point, Chief Minister Fadnavis said, “All the records of Marathwada are in Hyderabad Gadget. The British records are not available, so we have decided that we will run according to the records of Hyderabad Gadget. Whose name will be included in the record, the certificate will be given.

Fadnavis has taken this decision in view of OBC’s opposition, because the OBC society believed that the reservation of OBC’s rights will be given to the Marathas, which they do not approve of the rights of OBC.

Fadnavis also had a good feeling of OBC opposition, then he said, “Those who are included in the record, they get the certificate, we have made such an easy process. Because of this, the one who has the right record in the Maratha society will not be deprived, it will be the only benefit. Nothing will be extracted from the plate of OBC society. This decision has not only allowed the Maratha society, but also the OBC society has not allowed it to be harmful. As long as our government is, whatever happens, but OBC will not let it hurt. “

But this statement of Fadnavis has shocked the Maratha movement. Because Manoj Jarange Patil ended his fast on the condition that all Marathas will get reservation. But now the CM has said that according to Hyderabad gazette, reservation will be available, so many Marathas will be deprived of this reservation. While Jaranga was demanded that if a Maratha is being included in the kunbi and reservation is being given to it, then its relatives should also get reservation. But now the announcement of the government has trapped the screw in it. And in such a situation, Manoj Jarang Patil may once again become a challenge for the government, because his demand has been accepted, but it is looking half-incomplete.

Under the leadership of Manoj Jarange Patil, there was a movement for Maratha reservation on a large scale. Thousands of millions of people from the Maratha community gathered and put their demands in front of the government. It was announced that until all the demands of the Marathas are met, the movement and hunger strike would continue. The government had also accepted this. However, now the announcement made by Devendra Fadnavis’s government has received a big shock to Manoj Jaranga.

Actually, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has announced that not all Marathas will get a Kunbi certificate. The person whose name will be recorded in Hyderabad Gadget as Kunbi will be given only a certificate.

Everyone had a demand for Kunbi Certificate
Manoj Jarange Patil is constantly demanding that all the Marathas of Marathwada be given a Kunbi certificate, so that they can get reservation in the OBC category but the government has not fully accepted this demand. Yesterday (7 September), while addressing a public meeting in Pune, CE Devendra Fadnavis said-

“All the records of Marathwada are in the Hyderabad gadget. The British records are not available, so we have decided that we will run according to the records of Hyderabad Gadget. Whose name will be included in the record, the certificate will be given.

‘OBC society will never let the harm to be done’- Devendra Fadnavis
Devendra Fadnavis said, “Those who are included in the records, we have made such an easy process. Because of this, the Maratha society who has the right record will not be deprived, it will not get the benefit. OBC will not get any benefit from the plate of society. This decision has not only given interest of the Maratha society, as well as the OBC society has not been hurt. Will not let it hurt. “

The atmosphere of politics and movement has been hot for the last few days regarding Maratha reservation in Maharashtra. The government has taken some important decisions after the agitation led by Maratha reservation activist Manoj Jarange. Meanwhile, State Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule made a statement on Thursday that the government is completely cautious on the issue and will ensure that there is no conflict between Maratha and OBC communities regarding the matter of reservation.

Jarang ended his 5 -day protest in Mumbai on Tuesday after the government accepted most of his demands. Their demands include providing a certificate of Kunbi caste to eligible Marathas, so that they will be eligible for the reservation benefits given to OBCs.

The Maratha community has been demanding reservation for a long time. The government has now arranged that the Marathas whose old documents or records are available will be helped to get a clan certificate.

Kunbi and OBC dispute

Kunbi is a traditional farming community that is included in the OBC category in Maharashtra, but OBC community is opposing the inclusion of Marathas in this category.

OBC leaders say that if the Marathas are directly included in this category, then the share of the real beneficiaries of the OBC class will be reduced. This is the reason that there is a situation of tension between the two communities on this issue.

OBC leaders concern

Many leaders of the OBC community, including senior leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Chhagan Bhujbal, have expressed concern that the move will harm the interests of the OBC class.

The OBC class argues that already their reservation opportunities are limited, in such a situation, if the Marathas are also included in it, then their children’s jobs and education will be reduced further.

Committees formed by the government

Bawankule said, “The state government is completely cautious. Two committees have been formed to consider the concerns of the OBC community and to ensure justice for both Marathas and OBCs. Representatives of all political parties have been included, and the government will ensure that there is no conflict between the communities.

It is clear that the government does not want to take decisions in any hasty at the moment. The way ahead will be set only by taking the opinion of both sides.

He said that “the government has decided that the Marathas will be assisted in obtaining OBC certificate on the basis of old records.” In Vidarbha and Marathwada, Hyderabad Gazette will be examined so that eligible persons can get certificates. ”

As soon as Maratha reservation is discussed in Maharashtra, the person whose name comes first is Manoj Jarang Patil. Born in the inter -Sarati village of Ambajogai taluka of Beed district, Jarage has become a symbol of the voice and struggle of the Maratha society today.

Education and family

Jarang’s childhood was spent in the rural atmosphere. Due to limited economic means, they could not reach higher education. They come from an ordinary farmer family. They have the main means of farming. Manoj Jarange is married and is the father of two sons. His family is associated with farming and social service.

Start of movement

Manoj Jarange started the work of raising the issues of society and farmers about 15 years ago. While raising voice at the local level, he gradually became part of the big movement.

In 2013–14, when the demand for Maratha reservation was gaining momentum, he played an active role. But after 2021, his struggle was further sharp when he sat in his village on hunger. Police lathi -charged in Manoj Jarange Patil’s movement.

His fast movement started from Jalna district in 2023 came into the limelight across the state and then he became the face of the Maratha reservation movement.

Political approach

Jarge is not directly connected to any party. They consider themselves fair. But each of his activity affects both the ruling party and the opposition. His strategy has always been to put pressure on both sides.

Ideology and inspiration

Anna Hazare’s movement had a profound impact on Jarang. Struggling through non -violence and fast is his favorite way. They always insist on adopting the constitutional and peaceful path.

Property and lifestyle

Jarang has an average level of agricultural land. His life is associated with simplicity and rural environment. Neither big household hobby, nor convoy of vehicles are leaders living between fields and ordinary people.

Interesting facts

Jayen will be known to the limited scope, now due to social media and media coverage, they are famous all over Maharashtra. The declaration of every movement of them determines the direction of politics. People call him a “leader emerged from the village”.

During the movements, they live in an ordinary hut or pandal and sleep on the ground, so that the message of their simplicity and struggle can reach the society.

There is a fierce battle in Maharashtra on the performance of Manoj Jarange Patil over the demand for Maratha reservation. Meanwhile, in the ongoing agitation at Azad Maidan in Mumbai, a hearing was also held in Bombay High Court on Tuesday (September 2).

Earlier, the Maratha agitators had applied to increase the police permission to continue the movement in Azad Maidan last night. This morning, Mumbai Police rejected this application.

The Maratha agitators who have vacated the roads say that they will challenge this decision in the Bombay High Court in today’s hearing.

Hearing in the High Court was held in front of the bench of Acting Chief Justice Mr. Chandrashekhar and Justice Aarti Sathe. On behalf of the government, AG Dr. Birendra Saraf kept the side. At the same time, Advocate Satish Manshinde appeared on behalf of the Maratha agitators.

Manoj Jarange targeted Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis

Manoj Jarage, who is fasting for reservation amid hearing in the High Court, said that he is ready to negotiate with the government but till his demands are met, he will not leave Mumbai. Jarage started a fast on Friday (August 29) at Azad Maidan in Mumbai to demand Maratha reservation. He said that the protesters have not violated any law. No one can stop the Maratha community from entering the state capital.

Manoj Jarange alleged that Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is giving false information to the Bombay High Court and he will have its “paying” price. Jarange claimed, “You will not know whether he is Mumbaikar or Maratha.” Whatever will happen next Monday will be due to Fadnavis’s mistake.

He said that he will ensure that the government accepts their reservation demand and issue a government order by recognizing the Marathas as a Kunbi (an agrarian -oriented caste included in the Other Backward Classes). With this, they will be able to become eligible for reservation in government jobs and education.

The fast of the agitating leader Manoj Jarang, who is demanding Maratha reservation at Azad Maidan in Mumbai, continued on Sunday (August 31) on the third day. Manoj Jarange said that he will not leave Mumbai until his demand for the Maratha community is met. His fast continued for the third day on Sunday. Jarang claimed that their demand is constitutionally valid and the government has records that Kunbi and Maratha belong to the same caste.

According to Mumbai Police, traffic was affected due to the presence of a large number of agitators at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and nearby intersections. Mumbai Traffic Police posted on ‘X’ and said that during the agitation, drivers are advised to adopt an alternative route.

Constitutional amendment required to solve these issues- Sharad Pawar

Chief Minister Fadnavis said that the government is working to fulfill the demands of Jarge in legal and constitutional structure. At the same time, Sharad Pawar, president of the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction), said that constitutional amendment is necessary to resolve these issues because there is a limit of total reservation. Jarang told that he has fasted seven times and this movement is the ‘final battle’ of his community.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said on Friday (August 29) that the government is positive about the demands of Maratha reservation and is working to find a solution. His statement has come at a time when Manoj Jarang has started an indefinite hunger strike at Azad Maidan in Mumbai to demand reservation for the Maratha community.

Ajit Pawar said in Pimpri Chinchwad, ‘The state government has constituted a committee under the leadership of Cabinet Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil, which is talking on the issue. Everyone has the right to protest, provided it is done in a peaceful manner. The Mahayuti government is working to solve the demands and we are confident that a solution will come out.

Meanwhile, the state revenue minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule has given strict warning to Jarang that he should agitate, but do not use inflammatory and objectionable language.

Not tolerated comments on women and family- Bawankule

Bawankule clearly said that it is everyone’s right to agitate, but personal attacks and abuses will not be tolerated at all.

He said, “Talking about demolishing the government elected with 3.17 crore votes and more than 51% mandate is going to be angry. Maharashtra will not tolerate personal attacks. Especially objectionable comments will not be accepted on the families of our mothers and sisters and leaders.”

Bawankule said that the government does not want to suppress anyone’s voice and everyone has the freedom to agitate. But he reiterated that the movement should be within the purview of decency and dignity. Threats and derogatory words are not part of the culture of Maharashtra. Issues can be resolved only through patience and dialogue.

Fadnavis’s efforts praised

The Revenue Minister appreciated the efforts of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Maratha reservation. He said that Fadnavis studied this issue day and night, took legal advice, socio-economic survey and made a law to give reservation to Maratha society. This law was also approved by the Legislative Assembly and the High Court, but later the Supreme Court rejected it.

Bawankule said, “Fadnavis had put his reputation at stake for the Maratha society.”

The minister also clarified that the Mahayuti government is fully committed to providing justice to the Maratha society. “Our government is not weak, but strong. Whatever justice has to be given to the Maratha society, it will definitely give our government. The government was with the Maratha society and will always be together.”

Mumbai march will be Jarage

Manoj Jarang has announced that he will leave his native village in Jalna district for Mumbai on Wednesday. They are demanding that all the Marathas be given the status of Kunbi (agro -based OBC caste), so that they can get the benefit of reservation. Despite all the efforts of the government, Jarang has made it clear that he will not back down from his decision.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has appealed to the Maratha reservation agitator Manoj Jarange to think once again at the time of the proposed demonstration in Mumbai during the Ganesh festival. Shinde clearly said that it is everyone’s right to agitate, but during the festivals, it should not cause problems for the common people.

Devotees may face trouble

Eknath Shinde said, “Millions of people celebrate Ganesh festival in Mumbai. If the movement starts at this time, the devotees will have trouble. So I appeal to Jarange to consider changing time.”

The issue was also raised in the previous government

Shinde reminded that even when he was the Chief Minister, Manoj Jarang had made similar movements. At that time, the government had resolved many of his concerns and the Maratha society also benefited from it.

Ultimatum of Manoj Jarange

On the other hand, Manoj Jarage has given an ultimatum to the Maharashtra government to give 10 percent reservation to the Maratha society in the most backward class (OBC) by 26 August. Jarang has warned that if the demand is not met, a big march from Ganesh Chaturthi towards Mumbai will start on August 27 and they will go on indefinite hunger strike from August 29.

Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has made a serious allegation of Maratha reservation activist Manoj Jarange of making objectionable remarks against the mother of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The BJP has described it as unacceptable and condemnable.

On the other hand, Manoj Jarange has dismissed these allegations outright, saying that his statements have been incorrectly introduced.

Eknath Shinde gave advice

Shinde said that Maharashtra is a cultural state and the traditions here are special. Sensitivity is necessary while speaking on any issue. He said, “We all should keep in mind that our words and steps do not spread any kind of bitterness in the society.”
