Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange has given the Mahayuti government in Maharashtra an ultimatum, demanding a farm loan waiver and resolution of other agricultural issues by September 30. He warned of "consequences" in the upcoming assembly elections if these demands are not met, reported news agency PTI.
Speaking at Antarwali Sarati village in Jalna district, where he has previously fasted in support of Maratha quota, Jarange criticised the Shiv Sena-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) government for what he called "hollow promises" regarding compensation for crops destroyed by recent natural disasters. "The government must act by September 30, or face the wrath of farmers," he declared.
