The remarks of BJP leader Kunwarji Bavalia have sparked widespread protests from Rajput groups in Gujarat. The Rajput community has been picketing BJP meetings and holding protests across the state, alleging that the party has marginalized them in governance. They claim that despite their contributions to the state’s history and culture, the BJP has not given them a fair share in governance. The Rajput groups have been expressing their disappointment with the party, accusing it of neglecting their interests.
The Rajkot Lok Sabha constituency, where Mr. Rupala is in the fray, has become the ground zero of this agitation. Rajput groups have been protesting there, demanding fair representation in governance. They have been picketing BJP meetings and holding rallies, calling on the party to address their concerns. The protests have raised questions about the BJP’s commitment to the Rajput community and its ability to address the grievances of different sections of society.
