The leader's demand includes - making Sachin Pilot as the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, replacing Ashok Gehlot, and resolving the issue of OBC reservation.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday said that he will try to address Gurjar community's complaints, after its leader Vijay Singh Bainsla threatened to disrupt Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra in the state.
Mr Bainsla has been pressing the state government to resolve issues it has raised regarding OBC reservation, and has also demanded Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to make Sachin Pilot Rajasthan CM.
Mr Bainsla has said that the community had given its votes to Congress for a Gurjar CM in the state. Reacting to his demands, Mr Gehlot said, "This is democracy and everyone has the right to speak. We are ruling on the basis of the Constitution and the right to speak cannot be taken away. If there is any demand or suggestion, we will hear that and will try to address the complaints."
After a meeting of the party leaders to review the preparations of the yatra, the chief minister told reporters that the yatra will be held successfully in the state.
