Maratha Leader Drops Political Bombshell Against NCP Minister
In a shocking development that has sent ripples through Maharashtra's political landscape, prominent Maratha reservation activist Manoj Jarange has made grave allegations against senior Nationalist Congress Party leader Dhananjay Munde. Jarange has publicly claimed that Munde ordered a contract for his elimination with a staggering Rs 2.5 crore supari.
The Serious Allegation and Demand for Investigation
The activist did not mince words when he revealed what he described as a murder plot against him. Speaking to media representatives, Jarange stated that he has concrete information about the contract and has demanded an immediate investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the matter.
The allegations were first made public on November 7, 2025, according to reports filed by Mrityunjay Bose. Jarange specifically accused Munde of orchestrating the contract killing plan, though he did not immediately provide evidence to support his claims during the initial announcement.
Political Context and Background
This dramatic accusation comes against the backdrop of the ongoing Maratha reservation agitation, where Jarange has been a central figure leading protests and demanding quota benefits for the Maratha community. The tension between political leaders and reservation activists has been palpable in recent months.
Dhananjay Munde, who serves as a minister in the Maharashtra government, has been involved in discussions regarding the reservation issue. The relationship between political leaders and activists has grown increasingly strained as the reservation debate continues to dominate state politics.
The timing of these allegations is particularly significant given the sensitive nature of the Maratha reservation movement and its potential implications for Maharashtra's political stability.
Reactions and Next Steps
Jarange's demand for a CBI probe indicates the seriousness with which he views the threat to his life. The activist has positioned this as a matter requiring central investigation rather than local law enforcement handling.
As of now, there has been no official response from Dhananjay Munde or the NCP regarding these allegations. The political community in Maharashtra is watching closely as this situation develops, recognizing its potential to create significant upheaval in state politics.
The coming days are likely to see increased political maneuvering as both sides position themselves in what has become one of the most serious personal allegations in recent Maharashtra political history.
