Manoj Jarange Patil has emerged as one of the most influential voices in Maharashtra today as the face of the Maratha quota agitation.

The 40-year-old farmer has been leading the agitations and pulling in massive crowds in a bid to get reservation for the Maratha community.

On Wednesday (November 1), Jarange announced that he would stop drinking water from evening if the Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government did not fulfil his demand.
