No Need for Fresh Agitation, Government Positive on Maratha Quota: Vikhe Patil

Maharashtra minister Vikhe Patil has said there is no need for fresh agitation on the Maratha quota issue, asserting that the government remains positive on the matter. This comes as Maratha activist Jarange has announced plans to launch a new agitation on August 29, claiming the government has failed to honour commitments made to the Maratha community.

Patil's remarks appear aimed at persuading Jarange to call off the planned protest by expressing the government's willingness to address the Maratha quota demand. The disagreement reflects ongoing tensions over the implementation of quota benefits for the Maratha community in Maharashtra.
