Karuli/Jaipur: Expressing dissatisfaction over the way the Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government is handling demands of Gujjars, community leader Kirori Singh Bainsla has said they will not have any talks and until it accepts their all demands.
Speaking to ETV Bharat on phone, Bainsla, who spearheaded the Gujjar agitations in the state over their demand of five per cent quota in jobs and educational institutions last year, said the proposed agitation would start from November one as planned.
On the government disrupting the internet services in view of their strike, he said that government was troubling the common people without any reason.
The decision to suspend internet services in the district has hit the students, who take their classes through online mode these days because of the coronavirus pandemic, hard.

Meanwhile, the authorities have started making arrangements to deal with the situation that may emerge as the strike begins on November one.
On Thursday, the state government, ahead of the call for agitation given by the Gurjar Aarakshan Sangarsh Samiti, took a decision on their three key demands. The community leaders, however, want it to accept their all demands.
Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Ashok Chandna said the decision on the three key points was taken at a meeting on Thursday.
Chandna said all 1,252 candidates belonging to the More Backward Classes (MBCs), who have completed their probation period, will be given regular pay scale by the state government.
The state government will once again write to the Centre to include the provision related to reservation for the MBCs in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution, he said.
A few weeks ago, the Gujjar community at a 'mahapanchayat' in Bharatpur gave an ultimatum to the state government of staging a massive agitation from November 1 if their demands are not fulfilled.
