BJP’s former state president Arun Chaturvedi said in a press conference at party’s state headquarters on Saturday that Congress leaders including the chief minister had promised to give reservation to the Gujjar community in the state assembly elections.
The blame game has started between the BJP and the Congress over the issue of Gujjar reservation. The BJP has targeted the chief minister Ashok Gehlot and said that the state government is putting its responsibility over the Union government instead of fulfilling its own election promise of reservation to the community.
BJP’s former state president Arun Chaturvedi said in a press conference at party’s state headquarters on Saturday that Congress leaders including the chief minister had promised to give reservation to the Gujjar community in the state assembly elections. Now, after the government is formed, Congress is putting its responsibility on the Union government rather than fulfilling its promise.
During the previous tenure of the Gehlot government, there was a Congress government in the state and the centre too. In spite of this, Gehlot did not try to give the reservation to the Gujjar community. Chaturvedi has questioned, “How is he (Gehlot) putting his responsibility on the Central Government today? The Chief Minister knows that these subjects are related to education and jobs in Rajasthan and the responsibility of showing full seriousness on this is also of the State Government”.
Chaturvedi alleged that the Congress government was formed in Rajasthan for one and a half months. During this time, the chief minister showed no seriousness in the reservation to Gujjar and did not talk with the representatives of the community. “Representatives of the Gujjar community had warned the Rajasthan government a month ago. The date of the agitation was also fixed but the state government did not pay any attention in this regard. The result of this is that today the Gujjar community is agitating in such a cold and the common people are facing problems due to the agitation,” said former cabinet minister.
He said, when the Gujjar community started to stop the trains, protest and dharna, then the government woke up and formed a three-member cabinet sub-committee. Not a single representative of the Gujjar community was included in this committee.
