Jarange Hardens Stand; Refuses Water, Medical Treatment as Hunger Strike for Quota Enters 8th Day
Jarange says he will not end the fast until the government implements assurances on Kunbi certificates and records for about 58 lakh Marathas.
- On Saturday, activist Manoj Jarange entered the eighth day of his hunger strike in Jalna, intensifying his protest by refusing water and medical treatment while alleging the Maharashtra government failed to implement promised assurances.
- Jarange demanded a Government Resolution by September 12 regarding Kunbi certificates, which would grant Marathas quota status under Other Backward Classes, despite the Mahayuti government's assurance that work on around 58 lakh records would be initiated.
- On Thursday, a delegation including Ministers Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil and Uday Samant, MLC Prasad Lad, and MLA Makarand Patil visited the Antarwali Sarati protest site. "Until the government implements all our demands on the ground, I will not take anything and will not undergo any treatment," Jarange told media.
- Jarange alleged that the government failed to communicate reservation updates through public announcements and that the process related to the Hyderabad Gazette has not started, vowing to proceed to Mumbai on September 12 if demands remain unaddressed.
- Withdrawing his earlier consent to receive intravenous fluids, Jarange remains firm in his refusal of medical examination, insisting he will not withdraw his agitation until the government effectively implements all demands on the ground.
