Jaipur, May 5 (PTI) The over fortnight long stir by Gujjars led by Kirori Singh Bainsla was called off today with the state government agreeing to accord one per cent more quota to the community in addition to the existing four per cent given to them under the OBC category.
The announcement to call off the stir was made by Bainsla at Madanpur in Bayana Bharatpur district after a three-hour meeting with the Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and the ministerial committee, a close aide of the Gujjar leader said.
As per the agreement, since the community is already getting four per cent reservation under the OBC category, they would get one per cent more of quota till the High Court formalities regarding their demand for five per cent reservation under the Special Backward Class were completed, Bainsla's close aide Roop Singh said.
