Jaipur: Official talks between agitating Gujjars and Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje yesterday ended inconclusively even as an ex-gratia of Rs 5 lakh to the next of the kin of the deceased was announced. During the discussion over Gujjars quota on Scheduled Tribe status which lasted over nine hours, it was decided to compensate the injured also as per the requirement and rules.

Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje announced at her residence yesterday night that the next round of talks, possibly tomorrow, would be held with the convenor of Gujjar Sangarsh Samiti Col Kirori Singh Bhainsla to finalise the agreement. "To maintain and bring peace and harmony in the state, my government is committed to resolve any problem whatsoever. Hence I invited the agitating Gujjar people... The talks with Gujjar delegation has moved forward satisfactorily and I am sure a solution to the current impasse would end after holding final talks with their leader Col Bhainsla," Raje said in a statement.

This was the fifth round of talks which resumed around 2 pm amidst tight security. Among others who attended the crucial meeting included Digamber Singh, Home Minister G C Kataria, six Gujjar MLAs including Panchayati Raj minister Kalulal Gurjar, and 11 members of Gujjar Sangarsh Samiti delegation.
