Gurjar leader Kirori Singh Bainsla
Gurjar leader Kirori Singh Bainsla and his son Vijay Bainsla on Wednesday joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the presence of Union minister Prakash Javadekar.
Bainsla is known for leading a state-wide protest for reservation for the Gurjar community which saw rail and road traffic disruption in Rajasthan.
The Gurjar community agitation demanded five per cent quota in jobs and education.
The protest even turned violent on February 10, 2019 with shots being fired and police vehicles torched in Dholpur district and protestors blocking road and rail traffic in many areas.
