Gujjars hold talks with Rajasthan government

Jaipur, May 26: Accepting Vasundhara Raje government’s offer to come to Jaipur to hold talks on reservation issue, Gujjar leaders on Tuesday decided to hold meeting with the committee of ministers in the state capital.

The Delhi- Mumbai rail track in Bharatpur, AgraJaipur national highway in Dausa and a state highway in Sawaimadhopur are still blocked.

A delegation of 11- Gujjar members has left for Jaipur from Pilukapura in Bharatpur and the meeting is scheduled to take place late in the evening.

“The agitation leader Kirori Singh Bainsla accepted the government’s proposal and formed an 11 member delegation to hold talks with the committee of ministers in Jaipur today ( Tuesday). The delegation will reach Jaipur late in the evening,” Himmat Singh, spokesperson of the Gujjar Arakshan Sangharsh Samiti said.

Mr Bainsla is not the part of the delegation.

“Our demand is five per cent reservation within the legal limit of 50 per cent. We will accept only fresh and a concrete proposal if offered by the government.” “The outcome of the meeting will be discussed with Bainsla and any decision about the future course of action will be taken thereafter and this all will depend on the outcome of the meeting,” he said.

Earlier in the day, Mr Bainsla was adamant for calling the committee of ministers at Bayana in Bharatpur for next round of the talks.
