Gujjar may soon get 5% reservation in rajasthan

Gurjjar agitation continue in rajasthan for fourth day and finally gurjar leaders agree to talk with State government. After a round of talks with Gujjar leaders on Tuesday over the reservation Bill passed by the Vasundhara regime, the state government seems to be veering around to the idea of bringing another Bill for providing 5% quota to the community. Though there was no official word yet, home minister Shanti Dhariwal indicated as much when he met media persons after the meeting. Higher education minister Jitendra Singh is likely to call on governor S K Singh on Wednesday and apprise him about the possibility of a new Bill.

According to sources, the talks between a 51-member Gujjar delegation and the government was held in a cordial atmosphere. The government was represented by home minister Shanti Dhariwal, higher education minister Jitendra Singh, transport minister Brij Kishore Sharma and principal secretary home, S N Thanvi. During the talks, which went late into the night, the government cited complications in the Bill passed during the BJP regime in 2008. Apart from the reservation for Gujjars, the Bill had another 14% quota for the economically weaker sections, to which Congress objected. “The Bill passed during Vasundhara government is highly complicated and can’t be approved. There are several constitutional lapses in the Bill which the BJP leaders themselves should be aware of,” said chief minister Ashok Gehlot after the talks on Tuesday. So Gujjar may soon get 5% reservation in rajasthan but Bhrahman may oppose this decision, let see what will be outcome from talk.
