Gujjars warns Rajasthan government of agitation

Gujjar community has made it clear that it would resort to movement if their demands are not met by the government by October 31. Vijay Bainsla, Gujjar leader, told that Chief Minister Ashok Ghelot should be held responsible for the agitation.

Jaipur: The Gujjar community of Rajasthan made a final call for movement if their demands for reservation are not met by the government. Vijay Bainsla, son of Kirori Singh Bainsla, who led the society in every movement, clearly said that if their demands are not met within two days, they will start agitation. The community is tired of the alleged lackadaisical approach of the government.

During the recent Gujjar Reservation Mahapanchayat, the Panch Patels of the society under the leadership of Kirori Singh Bainsla warned the government to address their concern within October 31. Bainsla clearly said that the people of the society will take to the streets from November 1.

On the other hand, a meeting was to be held in the Secretariat in Jaipur, but later the place of meeting was changed to the residence of Minister Ashok Chandna. Here, top officials including ministers Ashok Chandna and Raghu Sharma were busy in finding the middle way.
