JAIPUR: A day after their talks with the state government ended in a stalemate, Gujjar leader Kirori Singh Bainsla on Sunday threatened to resume his plans to take out a march to the state capital to press for quota in government jobs for his community.
Accusing the government of giving only assurances and no concrete action, he directed members of his community to get ready for a full-fledged agitation.
The Gujjar leader said he would wait for five more days even as protests and gathering of people continued in Dausa, Ajmer, Pushkar, Alwar, Tonk and other districts on Sunday.
According to Bainsla, he tried his best to solve the issue during his talks with the chief minister and even suggested possible ways to accord reservation to his community. However, the government was not ready for it. Appealing to local Gujjar leaders to mobilise more and more people, he said the agitation would continue till the demands were met.
A senior Gujjar leader, Dharamjeet Singh, told TOI from Gazipur in Dausa that they would continue their stir in their respective districts. Meanwhile, chief minister Ashok Gehlot said on Sunday that his government was seriously trying to solve the crisis. Maintaining peace was the priority of the government and at the same time it was sensitive towards the demands of Gujjars, he said
