State government, Rajasthan

Talks between a Gujjar delegation led by Bainsla and a government team led by BJP leader Ramdas Agarwal concluded on 17 June. On 18 June Raje, Bainsla and Agarwal announced the agreement at a joint press conference, ending the 27-day agitation. It gave 5 per cent special reservation to Gujjars, Banjaras, Gadia Lohars and Raikas. The state enacted it in a 2008 Act that created a 5 per cent quota for special backward classes. Gujjar leaders spoke of a letter to the Centre on ST status; BJP leaders said the letter would reply to a 1999 letter from the Centre [6][5][1][3][4][2]
