Once again politics has started on Gujjars in Rajasthan. The Rajasthan government has declared a holiday on the birthday of Lord Dev Narayan, the folk deity of Gurjars. Ashok Gehlot is a shrewd player of politics. As soon as he heard that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going to visit Rajasthan on Dev Narayan Jayanti, he played a holiday card to garner the sympathy of Gujjars. His second target must have definitely been Sachin Pilot.

Although the Gehlot government which has declared this holiday, Sachin is also an important part of the same ruling party, but somewhere, Gehlot must be trying to show in some form or the other that what Sachin Pilot could not do by being a Gujjar, he could do by being a non-Gujjar. are doing.

On the other hand, the Prime Minister is coming to participate in the program of Dev Narayan Jayanti at Asind in Bhilwara district on Saturday. The BJP is trying to gain the sympathy of the Gujjars by playing the card of not making Sachin Pilot the Chief Minister, but it seems to be a crooked ploy. These are the same Gujjars who had been camping on the railway tracks for months and the then BJP government of Rajasthan had openly fired on them. In the first instance itself, 21 young Gurjars were killed and the people of the society kept their dead bodies on the chaupals for a week.

Even then the BJP government did not accept their demands. He was earnest. Was tired of telling stories of sorrows. But it seemed that it was not going to end before this age. He had seen dead bodies. Had seen people like corpses. Amidst skirmishes, brawls and gunfire, the pitch darkness was like the history of the time. Be it day or night, the wind was howling in the evening as if sitting in the face of history crying. Nearby tall trees grew like sorrows.

It may be that both the sides have their own stubbornness, but the whole of Rajasthan was bleeding. It would be remembered that the death anniversary of Patoli had passed, but even then dead bodies were kept in Pilupura. Movement was mixed with movement and dead bodies with dead bodies. But man to man could not meet. Half of Rajasthan’s mobile phones were being jammed and messages of peace were being given on them, leaflets were being dropped from helicopters, but talks could not take place. Neither from here, nor from there.

Since Colonel Kirori Singh Bainsla, who led the movement, is no more, both the Congress and the BJP feel that the snow has melted and Gujjar votes will fall into their pockets like ripe grains of corn. Since the elections are round the corner, both the parties are trying to get the Gujjar votes in bulk on their side.
