Socio-cultural organizations in Maharashtra have released a draft 'Marathinama' manifesto for upcoming civic polls, demanding candidature for Marathi individuals and 80% job reservation for state domiciles. They plan to seek party affidavits supporting these demands. Activists criticized the Congress for issuing a separate manifesto for North Indians in Mumbai, emphasizing the need to preserve Marathi culture and language while advocating for Marathi candidates and fluent Marathi speakers.
