New Delhi, Sept. 1 -- The Maharashtra government will implement the Bombay High Court directives on Manoj Jarange-led Maratha quota protest, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Monday.

He also stated that the government is deliberating on finding legal options to resolve the standoff over the Maratha quota demand.

Jarange has been on a hunger strike since August 29 at Azad Maidan in south Mumbai seeking Kunbi status for Marathas, which would allow them to avail quota benefits since the Kunbis are part of the Other Backward Classes (OBC).
