Maratha Reservation Activist Manoj Jarange-Patil Fields Candidate in Parvati; Backs Sachin Taware For Strengthening Maratha Representation in Assembly

Pune:

On September 29, the Maratha reservation activist Manoj Jarange-Patil held a meeting with Maratha reservation supporters and other members and decided to field its candidates in the upcoming assembly election against the ruling Mahayuti and the opposition Mahavikas Agahdi coalitions. After that, almost one month later, Jarange-Patil fielded its candidate from the Parvati assembly constituency.

From Pune’s Parvati assembly constituency, Jarange-Patil gave a ticket to Sachin Taware to represent Maratha community from Parvati constituency. Sachin Taware made a show of strength by upholding the dignity of the constitution and chanting “Ek Maratha, Lakh Maratha” while filing his nomination papers from Parvati constituency in Pune.

A few days ago, Taware, originally from the NCP party, left the party after he did not get a ticket from Parvati constituency. After that, he decided to contest the upcoming assembly election independently to fight for the Maratha community under the leadership of Manoj Jarange.

For Taware, Jarange-Patil has organised two public meetings in the Bibwewadi and the Hingne area of the Parvati constituency. Through these meetings, Jarange will interact with the voters for the campaign of Taware and for the rights of the Maratha community. It is also said that through these campaign meetings, Jarange will make significant efforts to get back the rights of the Maratha community by discussing the issues of the community with the people.

The candidature of Sachin Taware is significant as there are almost 1 lakh 30 thousand Maratha voters in the Parvati assembly constituency. Here, the Bhartiya Janata Party has given tickets to three-time MLA Madhuri Misal, whereas the NCP (SP) has given ticket to Ashwini Kadam. Therefore, in the three-way fight in the Parvati assembly constituency, it will be interesting to see whether the Jarange factor will be able to end the domination of the BJP in the Parvati constituency.
