Gujjar agitation called off, Rajasthan government agrees to quota in jobs

The eight-day-long deadlock between Gujjars and the Rajasthan government came to an end on Thursday night after the government agreed to introduce a bill ensuring 5% quota for Gujjars and four other castes outside the legal limit of 50% overall reservation in government-run institutions. The communities would be given reservation as ‘Specially Backward Classes’ under a separate bill. The government also agreed to bring a separate bill for 14% reservation to economically backward classes beyond the 50% limit. After a four-hour meeting with Gujjar leaders in Jaipur, parliamentary affairs minister Rajendra Singh announced that the state government would pass the bill in the cabinet and the state assembly and then send it for inclusion in the 9th Schedule.
