CALL MADE FOR BRAHMIN CM, HIKE IN EWS RESERVATION UPTO 14%

Jaipur: The Brahmin community on Sunday put up a show of strength in Jaipur ahead of the upcoming assembly elections where demand for CM from the community was raised. The community held a Mahapanchayat at Vidyadhar Nagar stadium on Sunday.

Congress leader Pushpendra Bharadwaj said that both the parties – Congress and BJP each should give tickets to 30 Brahmin leaders in the upcoming assembly elections and CM should be made from the community.

“The grant given to Rajasthan was Rs 600 crore ten years back but this time, Rajasthan has got a grant of Rs 9,532 crore,” said Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. The minister said that 82 world-class railway stations will be constructed at Abu Road, Ajmer, Alwar, Asalpur, Jobner, Balotra, Bandikui, Chittorgarh, Dausa and at other places. “We have to give a new future to Rajasthan,” he said.

The programme was organised by Vipra Sena, whose chief Sunil Tiwari raised demands like increasing 10% reservation to Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) to 14%, making misbehaviour and assault on pujaris non-bailable offence and removing encroachments from temple lands.

BJP’s Rajya Sabha MP Ghanshyam Tiwari said that a board for Hindu religion should be made on the lines of the Waqf board. He said that temples and other religious places of the Hindu religion which are under the control of the govt should be given back to the Brahmin. Tiwari said that Hindus should have the right on Hindu temples.

Former BJP state president Arun Chaturvedi said that the country will strengthen when Brahmin is empowered. He also called upon the people to help needy people of the Brahmin community and not to speak against any Brahmin.

During this, flowers were showered by two helicopters.
