Rajasthan approves 1% reservation for Gujjars, other MBCs
The Rajasthan government on Monday announced 1% reservations for five communitiesâ Gujjar, Banjara, Gadia-Lohar, Raika, and Gadariyaâ under the Most Backward Classes (MBC) category. This comes after Gujjar leaders threatened to launch protests during PM Narendra Modi's upcoming Jaipur visit. The Gujjars were seeking 5% reservation within OBC quota to not violate the 50% Supreme Court-mandated cap.
