Speaking to media persons, Jarange-Patil said that the government must adhere to its promises made in January of giving the Maratha quotas, implement the decision of 슬롯사이트sage-soyare슬롯사이트 (bloodline) and other points.

슬롯사이트I honoured the model code of conduct during the (Lok Sabha) elections. The government must now keep its word. We did not vote for or against any candidate of any party. However, if the state fails us now, then we shall contest all the 288 assembly seats. We shall also name specific candidates and ensure their defeat in the polls,슬롯사이트 warned Jarange-Patil. The Shivba Sanghatana leader슬롯사이트s aggression probably stems from the fact that the just-concluded Lok Sabha elections saw more than 50 per cent of the winners hailing from the politically dominant Maratha caste.
