Maratha leader Manoj Jarange rejected the revised government resolution (GR), insisting that all Marathas be unconditionally given a Kunbi certificate, so that they get an OBC concession. He refused to end his 12-day fast, asking the government, which had sent a representative to meet him on Saturday, to return today or on Monday to Antarwali Sarati, a small town near Jalna, where he has been protesting since August 29. Jarange had given the government a deadline of four days to amend the GR. Saturday was the last day of the deadline.
Following CM Eknath Shinde’s request, Jarange had sent a delegation to Mumbai late Friday night. The meeting lasted till the early hours, but there was no resolution by the end of it. Jarange had demanded that a genealogy clause be removed from the GR, while the state government asked him for more time—at least a month for a retired justice-headed panel to come out with a report on the issue.
