Maratha quota activist ends 20-day fast, gives Maharashtra government 3-month deadline

A prominent Maratha quota activist concluded a 20-day fast on September 17, 2026, and set a three-month deadline for the Maharashtra government to address demands related to Maratha reservations.

The activist's fast was part of ongoing efforts to secure quota benefits for the Maratha community in educational institutions and government jobs. The conclusion of the extended fast marks a significant moment in the state's quota agitation.

With the three-month deadline, the activist has signalled continued pressure on state authorities to resolve the matter, reflecting the sustained nature of the Maratha reservation movement in Maharashtra.
