"Kept Changing Demands": Eknath Shinde Questions Maratha Quota Activist's Motives

Those who were in power for long did not give reservation to the Marathas, he said, taking a swipe at the Congress and undivided NCP.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Tuesday raised questions about Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange's motives, and wondered "who was behind" Jarange's recent diatribe against the government.

The activist keeps changing his demands, Shinde said in the legislative council here.

He was responding to a demand by BJP leader of the house Pravin Darekar that stern action be taken against Jarange who recently accused deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis of trying to kill him.
