Lucknow, June 14: Even as Jat leaders in Uttar Pradesh today decided to call of their agitation demanding quota for the community in government jobs, Chief Minister Mayawati supported their demand saying they should be included in the list of backward class at the national level.
“Though Jats have been included in backward category list in UP, this has not been done at the national level. Our party and government is of the view that the community should be included in this category nationally,” the UP Chief Minister said in a statement here .
However, she said the Jats should not have blocked water supply to Delhi to press for their demand saying disrupting water supply during summer is not justified on human grounds.
