As the hunger strike of Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil ended in Vashi, Navi Mumbai on Saturday, Maharashtra's chief minister Eknath Shinde addressed the rally and said, "We will fulfill the public oath (promise made to people) in regards to Maratha community reservation." He also said that he had taken oath of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to provide reservation to the Maratha community, and affirmed that it would be ensured that the reservation falls in legal framework. 

मनोज जरांगे पाटील यांनी केलेल्या सर्व मागण्या राज्य शासनाने मान्य केल्या असून कुणबी नोंदी शोधताना सगेसोयऱ्यांचा देखील त्यात समावेश करण्यात येणार आहे. यासोबतच शिंदे समितीला मुदतवाढ द्यायला मान्यता दिली. तसेच मराठा आंदोलनकर्त्यांवरील गुन्हे मागे घेण्याबाबत देखील तयारी दर्शवली. https://t.co/oCZN4UxidZ pic.twitter.com/PH4JNmfhta
