Gujjar leader Kirori Singh Bainsla has threatened to revive the Gujjar agitation in Rajasthan from Friday if the community and four other castes are not provided 5% reservation in government jobs and educational institutions. He reiterated the demand of a fresh quota at a community meeting held in Ajmer on Tuesday. The Congress in its poll manifesto promised the same and now we are asking it to fulfil its promise which the government made in an official document, Mr. Bainsla said. Mr. Bainsla said he had earlier given a 20-day deadline ending on February 8 to the government. Mr. Bainsla has been demanding reservation for Gujjars, Raika-Rebari, Gadia Luhar, Banjara and Gadaria communities in State jobs and admission in educational institutions.
