This is the result of policy of qouta and reservation.I admire Raje that she did not take a populist posture but took firm action in spite of possible adverse effect it may have on BJPs poll prospect.

This is not that simple. The Gujjars will go against them - but they are already mostly for the Congress (Sachin Pilot!). But the Meenas who are more in number than the Gujjars in Rajasthan will support the BJP. But the Gujjars in MP will go to the Congress (They are already mostly with the Congress). Also the Gujjars in Haryana are with the Congress. So Raje's moves are well calculated. Also the Congress is not able to categorically state that Gujjar demands will be met. That will mean a massive back lash from the Meena community for that party and no one wants to lose the Meena's support.
