Jaipur, December 21: Gujjars continued their agitation for the second straight day today in support of their demands, including quota in jobs, even as the Ashok Gehlot government said it was ready for talks to end the impasse.
The government, however, said it would not hold talks with the agitating Gujjars at the protest site as demanded by them.
“Talks can take place acros the table and not at rail tracks. They should come to the state capital if they want to hold talks,” Home Minister Shanti Dhariwal told reporters at his residence here.
Rail and road traffic remained affected in Rajasthan’s Bharatpur district as the stir by Gujjars entered the second day today.
Authorities diverted and cancelled a few trains and stopped plying of state roadways buses on Hindaun-Bayana and Hindaun-Bharatpur routes, officials said.
