Says no option but to enter politics to get quota for community

Manoj Jarange
Activist Manoj Jarange on Tuesday asked the Maratha community to prepare for the upcoming assembly polls, saying it has no option but to get political power if it wants reservation. Speaking to mediapersons at Antarwali Sarati village in Jalna district, Jarange expressed confidence that Marathas would come to power in the state, after the elections which are due in October.
The activist said although he does not wish to enter politics, the necessity to secure reservation for the Maratha community might compel him to do so. He expressed confidence that Marathas, Muslims and Dalits would bring about a significant change in the upcoming elections, comparable to the “wave” seen in the recent Lok Sabha polls.
