Manoj Jarange, who has been fighting for the reservation to Maratha ended his hunger strike on Wednesday, as his health deteriorated. He accepted a glass of water from villagers to end the indefinite hunger strike.
Jarange was on a hunger strike for the last nine days for the demand of reservation to the Maratha community under the OBC category. At the same time, Laxman Hake launched an agitation against the demand. Hake said that Marathas should be granted reservation under the OBC category.
Jarange said he is fighting for the poor farmers of the Maratha community. The rich Marathas are careless about the demand.
