The Gujjar agitation in Rajasthan ended today after an agreement between Gujjars and the Rajastan Chief Minister. As per the agreement the Gujjar's will get a 5% quota under a new bracket created in the OBC category. However it cannot be said that the Gujjars won their case comprehensively as they demanded the status of ST but this demand was not met. However the Gujjars seem to be happy with the numbers they got under the new special category.

 Ex Rajasthan Minister Mr Kishorilal Meena resigned from the Rajasthan Assembly. According to the sources the reason given was that He is unhappy with way the Gujjar agitation was handled by the Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje. However the real reason appears to be some where else. He is one of the senior members of BJP. There is a difference of opinion on
many things with Vasundara Raje. Though a senor member he was not given any Ministerial  berth by Mrs Raje. He is very unhappy and complained many a time against Mres Raje to the BJP high command. However his resignation is unlikely to be accepted by the high command. Already in trouble with Gujjars, the BJP does not want to antagonize another  powerful community  of Meenas.

The 12-day old newly formed BJP government in Karnataka is facing the heat as one framer was killed and two others injured in a police firing. The incident happened in Haveri. The incident began when the farmers were protesting the shortage of fertilizers.

Talks between Gujjars and the Rajasthan Government hit another roadblock when Gujjars demanded the release of woman who was arrested during the agitation. Gujjar leader Bainsla said that he is not open to the second round of talks until the jailed women are released. Other preconditions imposed by the Gujjar leader includes releasing of all the people who have been taken into custody by the police since the agitation started. The restoration of cellular phone connectivity as well as electricity and water was also raised by the leader.
