Activist Manoj Jarange on Monday said he will set out on a tour of Maharashtra after the Diwali festival to meet Marathas and make them aware about the issue of reservation for the community. Jarange was talking to reporters after NCP MLA Rohit Pawar met him at a private hospital in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar where the quota activist has been admitted since he ended his indefinite fast on November 2.

“The tour is not finalised yet. It will be finalised today. I will visit various regions of Maharashtra. There will be four steps of the tour and it may begin from the Vidarbha region,” he said. The activist earlier visited parts of western Maharashtra before he went on a hunger strike last month during the second phase of agitation for the Maratha quota.
