Prasad Lad defends Manoj Jarange Patil and addresses community tensions

BJP MLC Prasad Lad has described activist Manoj Jarange Patil as a hardworking leader focused on social welfare, though noting that some current misunderstandings exist that could be resolved through strengthened relations.

Addressing tensions within the OBC community, Lad responded to the dissatisfaction of OBC leader Laxman Hake. He denied any political intent to redistribute benefits between the Maratha and OBC communities, stating that the party's priority remains development rather than creating disputes between groups.

Lad also commented on recent protests in Delhi, claiming that NEET students were not the primary participants in the CJP movement. He challenged Rahul Gandhi to address student issues in Jharkhand, where the Congress party holds power.
