5 pc job quota to Gujjars unlikely, hints Raj Govt
May 27, 2015
The Rajasthan government today expressed its inability to accord five per cent quota to Gujjars in jobs, suggesting that any such move will have adverse consequences on social harmony in the state even as the agitators continued with their protest.
"In principle, we expressed the government's inability to make any change in the current reservation arrangements in view of social harmony.
"The Gujjar delegates said they will discuss it with their people and get back to us soon," Health Minister Rajendra Rathore told reporters after a meeting with a Gujjar delegation.
He hoped that a final round of talks would happen after the Gujjar leaders discuss the matter with their community members.
