BJP’s Danve challenges Jarange to propose 288 Maratha candidates for Maharashtra polls

Maratha reservation continues to be a hot topic in Maharashtra as BJP leader Raosaheb Danve challenges activist Manoj Jarange to field 288 Maratha candidates in the upcoming assembly elections. Jarange, advocating for Maratha political power for reservation in jobs and education, asserts confidence in Marathas, Muslims, and Dalits bringing about change. While the state has granted 10% reservation to Marathas, Jarange seeks OBC status, opposed by leaders like Chhagan Bhujbal.

Danve, supporting reservation for Marathas, emphasizes it should not come at the expense of others’ quotas. He criticizes the opposition for politicizing the issue and calls on Congress MPs to raise the matter in Parliament. Danve also asserts the NDA’s victory in elections, refuting claims of the MVA’s success. As Maharashtra gears up for elections in October, the debate over Maratha reservation intensifies.
