Behind the resolution of the Maratha agitation which had crippled Mumbai for five days was a climbdown by both the Mahayuti government as well as the agitators. The State government on Tuesday (September 2, 2025) issued a government resolution and a notification accepting six of the eight demands made by Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange-Patil, successfully resolving the deadlock.
As Mr. Jarange-Patil claimed victory and broke his fast, he also ended a two-year feud. “Devendra Fadnavis Saaheb, you should come here. Our enmity is over,” he said, as Maharashtra Minister Radhakrisha Vikhe Patil looked on and later announced that the Chief Minister was the architect of the resolution.
