"Sakal Maratha Samaj in Maharashtra and Maratha Kranti Mahamorcha in Mumbai have announced a fast to death at Azad Maidan in Mumbai from Tuesday, September 5, 2023," Amol Jadhav Rao said in a press conference.
The protestors are demanding the resignation of Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Maratha Reservation Committee President Chandrakant Patil, citing the government's mishandling of the Jalna agitation.
The movement will be led by Amol Jadhavrao, Sanjay Gharge, Vipul Mane, Baba Gunjal, Yuvraj Suryavanshi, Mahesh Rane, Dhananjay Shinde, Vilas Sudrik, Kondiba Shinde, Avinash Pawar, Bansi Doke, Santosh Palande, volunteers from Azadman.
Jadhavrao alleged that the agitation in Jalana was initially peaceful, but Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis lathi-charged innocent women, children and senior citizens. He should have accepted the responsibility and resigned immediately. Instead, lathi-charge has made the situation worse. Unless he resigns or our agitation will continue till he is removed from the state cabinet.
Moreover, Jadhav Rao also demanded that Chandrakant Patil's leadership of the Committee for Maratha Reservation has been ineffective and he should step down from his post.
