The article says:

In Amoghavarsha's records, the Rashtrakutas called themselves Lattalura - Puravara -Dhisvara, implying thereby that they hailed from Lattalur or Latur in Osmanabad district of present day Maharashtra. It is opined that the area formerly formed the part of present day Karnataka as attested by the surviving vestiges of Kannada place - names, Kannada inscriptions and other cultural relics.[6].
The Rashtrakutas of Malkhed (Manyakheta, Gulbarga) were a different branch and could not be identified with those of Lattalur.

Amoghavarsha was a Rashtrakuta of Malkhed. How can the Malkhed branch be different?

The Maratha and the Rajputs, as communities, both emerged after the Rashtrakutas. The Rashtrakutas formed some of the clans of the Rajputs, and some of the clans of the Marathas.

How can the Rashtrakutas be derived from Marathas or Rajputs who came after them?

Comment on:

Rashtrakutas of Malkhed were Marathi speaking and the anchestors of Marathas.[1]

No, they were not Marathi speaking. The reference cited mentions that. However they were obviously the ancestors of some of the Maratha clans.
