Kirori Singh Bainsla to hold talks with Ashok Gehlot on reservation issue

Gujjar leader Kirori Singh Bainsla will hold second round of talks with Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot here on the reservation issue today.

Bainsla along with around a dozen more Gujjar leaders arrived in Jaipur this morning after the first round talks, held yesterday between the state government and a delegation sent by the Gujjar leader, ended on a positive note.

However, the time and venue for the meeting has not yet been decided.

A Gujjar leader, who was part of yesterday's delegation, told PTI that the first round meeting was successful and expressed optimism that the second round scheduled with Gehlot would bring results.

In the first round of talks held at the state Assembly building, a 10-membr delegation held talks with state ministers Jitendra Singh and Brijkishore Sharma.

Gujjars are demanding quota in government jobs, but the Rajasthan High Court had in October last year stayed reservation in jobs and educational institutions for Gujjars and economically backward classes in the state.
