Manoj Jarange Patil alleged that the top BJP leaders informed him that DCM Eknath Shinde has taken Rs 500 crore from BJP to end the Maratha agitations.
The CM said the government is ready to discuss constitutionally valid demands, while Jarange has set September 12 as the deadline for action on Kunbi certificates.
Protesters, however, appeared to be resisting police intervention, citing that their vehicles, including trucks and tempos, carried essentials such as food and water.
