Manoj Jarange Patil, the leader of the Maratha reservation movement, stated that no candidate has been announced for the state yet, and a decision will be made after the 29th. He noted that the number of aspirants, especially from western Maharashtra, has increased significantly.
Speaking to reporters at Antarwali Sarati on Tuesday, Jarange Patil emphasized the difference between the struggle for reservation and the broader political fight. He mentioned that gaining power requires winning people's hearts and that some ministers, former MPs, and MLAs are in contact with him.
