Jarange Patil claimed that efforts are underway to isolate him and conspire against him. He said he does not compromise before anyone and remains firm on his position. According to him, this is why some people have started considering him an opponent.

‘The Person I Considered a Friend Turned Out to Be an Enemy’

Manoj Jarange Patil said that the person whom he had considered a friend until now had turned out to be an opponent. He described the situation as extremely surprising.

He said he was continuously gathering information about the level at which the alleged conspiracy against him was being carried out and through whom. However, he did not clearly name any individual in his statement.

Says ‘I Cannot Be Managed’

Jarange Patil said that he does not work under anyone’s pressure and does not change his position at someone else’s direction. According to him, this is why some people are unhappy with him and attempts are being made to politically isolate him.

Manoj Jarange Patil has been at the centre of Maharashtra’s politics and social movement over the Maratha reservation issue for a long time. Following his latest statement, questions are now being raised about whom he is referring to as his friend and whom he considers an opponent.

However, the allegations of a conspiracy made by Jarange Patil have not been independently confirmed. Attention will now be on his next statement and the reactions that emerge in the matter.
