Gujjar’s hold State-Wide Protests for “Demanding Reservation “

As the quota stir has taken a toll over the nation, the Gujjar community has blocked the railway tracks across the state in a state-wide agitation where they are demanding implementation of 5% reservation by the Rajasthan government.

An agitating member of the Gujjar community has said, "We have a good chief minister and a good prime minister. We want that they listen to the demands of the Gujjar community. It isn't an uphill task for them to provide a reservation. We want a 5 percent reservation. The government hasn't responded to my request. So, I am going to start an agitation."

The BJP government have already granted 10% reservation to the General Category of Economically Weaker Section but amidst the politics of Mandal-Kamandal, the reserved categories are getting hitched.

The Rajasthan government under Vasundhara Raje had promised a 5% reservation to the Gujjars in 2017 after a round of agitation. And the state had planned to expand the reservation for OBC's from 21% to 26% and give 5% reservation to the Gujjars and other Caste

Meanwhile, Tourism and Devasthan Minister Vishwendra Singh, who had gone to negotiate with the Gurjars on the agitation venue on Saturday, has discussed with the Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot about the agitation and with the Gujjars, there is a possibility that the next round of talks will be held again today. In view of the movement, Section 144 has been imposed in Malarna and adjoining areas and additional security forces have been deployed, while security arrangements are being strengthened in the places where the agitation can spread. It is notable that Gujjar started the movement on Friday demanding five percent reservation and four percent backlogs, and put a stop on the Delhi-Mumbai railroad.
