History will call us cowards if we relent: Bainsla

Toughening his stand, the Gujjar leader demanded that Raje should come to agitation site and hold talks with the community.

Toughening his stand against the state government, Gujjar leader Kirori Singh Bainsla on Monday demanded that Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje should come to the agitation site and hold talks with the community members on the demand for ST status.

There is no question of “relenting” this time, Bainsla said, adding “if we do, then history will call us cowards”.

“Only Chief Minister Raje should come and talk to the community members present here. After all, we are her own people,” Bainsala said.

He strongly disapproved of representatives of the government holding talks with the Gujjar community.

Accusing Raje of lacking “courage of conviction”, Bainsla said “it is the responsibility of the head of an elected government to come and listen to the grievances of the people.”

Contesting Raje’s claim that she tried to contact him on Sunday from Bayana, the Gujjar leader said “no efforts were made from the CM’s side to contact me.”

Raje flew to Bayana on Saturday and stayed put for about 40 minutes in an attempt to hold talks with Bainsla who was in Karwadi, about 15 km from Bayana, officials said.
