Rajput groups in Gujarat have been protesting against the BJP, alleging that the party has marginalized them in governance. This recent agitation stems from remarks made by BJP leader Kunwarji Bavalia, who claimed that Rajput kings had married their daughters to British rulers but not to members of the Rukhi Samaj (a Dalit community). The Rajput community has been picketing BJP meetings and holding protests across the state, expressing their disappointment with the party’s alleged lack of support for their community’s aspirations.
