    Rajasthan’s Gurjar community is back on the track of reservation demand. In a meeting of the Gurjar Arakshan Sangharsh Samiti, it was decided on Friday that the community will hold Panchayats from where they could start their protests if the Congress government doesn’t pay heed to their demands.

    Citing the Centre’s new law to provide 10% quotas to Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) in the general category, Gurjar leaders said that the community will stage protests if the Congress government in Rajasthan doesn’t give them 5% reservation.

    Gurjars’ ultimatum to the Congress government

    According to the reports, the Gurjars have given a 20-day ultimatum to the government to provide Gurjars 5% reservation. Gurjar Arakshan Sangharch Samiti leaders said, ‘now that the Centre has provided 10% reservation in general category, the 50% cap imposed on the reservation by the Supreme Court has already been breached. There shouldn’t be any problems to give us our due now.’

    It should be noted that Rajasthan PCC chief and the deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot, who comes from Gurjar family, benefitted with Gurjar vote bank. Now the community has been waiting for a single address from their leader since the Congress came to power in Rajasthan.
