Well, if you look at the hazard symbols for potassium manganate and ethanol then you'd realise that potassium manganate is oxidising and ethanol is flammable therefore if you store them together then they can react very vigorously (if that's how you spell it) and maybe even cause a fire because the oxygen from the potassium manganate will give fuel to the fire ,maybe though. I'm not sure, it's something like that

Potassium manganate (I believe maganate may be a typo) should not cause any reaction with ethanol. It is an inorganic salt and is fairly unreactive. However, under alkaline (basic) conditions potassium permanganate is formed. This is a potent oxidant, and will readily oxidize ethanol to ethanoic acid (commonly called acetic acid, or vinegar).

Why does the color of potassium permanganate not disappear when excess of ethanol is added to it?

KMnO4 is pink in a solution without oxidizing reagents. Adding ethanol should change it to a brown solution. If adding ethanol can not change the solution to brown, then its environment is already acidic and will not reduce.
