Bainsla made a call to Gurjjars to send at least one man from each house and the Gurjjar community responded in hordes. He also called in for more participation by women to further pressurise the Government.

The men reaching the ground were told that no one could leave without permission till the Rajasthan Government agreed to send recommendatory letter to the Centre.

“Those who attempt to leave will have to pay Rs 1,100 as fine,” said Bainsla’s deputy Captain Attar Singh, while addressing the sea of humanity — all dressed in white.

On Sunday afternoon, men from 500 villages of Bharatpur, Sawai Madhopur, Dausa and Alwar districts arrived here in batches. They brandished axes, lathis, knives, shouted slogans and hurled abuses at Vasundhara Raje Government.

Sitting on the railway line, Bainsla’s smile widened with each arriving batch. It was time for Bainsla and his deputies put up a fabulous show.

Each slogan was orchestrated for television channels and agitators were asked to make menacing actions so that a clear message reached the state Government.

The police were camping only a kilometre away from the spot. And despite several police pickets on the way, the Gurjjars did not face any problem in arriving here in huge groups. “We have clear orders not to get offensive,” said a senior state police officer.
