Maratha quota leader Manoj Jarange, along with thousands of supporters, arrived in Navi Mumbai on Friday for a reservation for the Maratha people. Around 5 a.m., several activists riding bikes, vehicles, jeeps, tempos, and trucks assembled at the Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC) on the outskirts of Mumbai.
According to Jarange`s plan, he and his supporters would begin a hunger strike on Friday at Azad Maidan in south Mumbai. Their principal demand is that the Maratha community be granted Kunbi (OBC) status.
