Maksudanpura (Sawai Madhopur): Deadlock over the Gujjar quota demand continued for the fourth consecutive day on Monday as Kirori Singh Bainsla occupying the railway tracks reiterated that he won’t move from the protest site until the state government issued an order granting 5% reservation to More Backward Classes (MBC), including Gujjars.Cabinet minister Vishvendra Singh camping at Sawai Madhopur for coordination with protesting leaders, however, said that the ball was now in the court of Gujjars, who have been invited for talks. Bainsla maintained that neither he nor anyone else from the rail tracks will go for talks.Gujjars occupying rail tracks with Bainsla, on the other hand, are losing interest. The Gujjar Aarakshan Sangharsh Samiti has urged them to keep faith in Bainsla.Members of Gujjar community on the railway tracks woke up in anticipation that their fellow members in rest of the state should also join the stir and participate in the road jam. By the afternoon their news network from various parts of Rajasthan fetched them details on road jams at Sikandara in Dausa, Kushali Darra in Sawai Madhopur and other parts of the state. The internet services were suspended at Malrana Dungar area and the villages surrounding the railway tracks on Monday evening.Bainsla appeared little exhausted and angry with the dilly dally approach of the state government. “We had given ultimatum to the state government 20 days ago and when we were unheard we came on the tracks. A day after cabinet minister Vishvendra Singh and bureaucrat Neeraj K Pawan came and we have told them loud and clear that we will not budge from the tracks. We are into the fourth day and there is no message from the state government,” said Bainsla while talking to TOI.“I can hold my youth and men for some time but if they lose patience government is to be blamed,” he said.Bainsala through video calling appealed Gujjars in various parts of the state to jam the state and national highways across the state. He urged that neither he nor the Gujjars will move from the tracks until government hands them over the notification confirming 5 percent reservation under Most Backward Classes(MBC) including Gujjars.Tourism minister Vishvendra Singh, who is camping at Sawai Madhopur, said, “We went to the tracks as demanded by the Gujjar community and requested them to prepare their team to sit with us and discuss it out. I have been waiting for the past 2 days since I invited them. Government is ready to initiate talks with Bainsla saab who is universally accepted leaders of the community.”“Things would be resolved only through talks. We are trying our best,” said Neeraj K Pawan, the IAS officer who is part of two-member delegation that had parleys with the Gujjars on Saturday at the railway tracks.The protesters were clueless on what is going to be next? “We have seen enough in our fight for quota and it is high time that we should stay united and continue to be on the tracks. Be patient the government will have to give what we deserve,” Bainsla said while addressing the community members on the tracks.The train services remained affected on the Delhi-Mumbai rail route. At least 22 trains remained diverted while almost 12 trains were cancelled so far on the route. The trains on the Delhi Mumbai route are been diverted via Sawai Madhopur-Kota-Baran since the rail tracks were jammed.
