Jaipur, Aug 11: Suspended BJP MLA and Social Justice
Front president Devi Singh Bhati, who was arrested last week
along with 190 supporters after they threatened to disrupt the
Prime Minister's rally here, was released today.
Emerging from the jail, Bhati claimed that the SJF's campaign had "at least forced the Prime Minister to break his silence over the reservation issue."
However, the agitation of the SJF would continue till the reservation benefits were made available to Rajputs and Brahmins, he said.
Bhati was leading a dharna at the state secretariat demanding reservation for Rajputs and Brahmins when the police took him to prventive custody along with his supporters. However, SJF activists managed to raise slogans and waive banners in the BJP'S parivarthan rally addressed by the Prime Minister yesterday.
Meanwhile, Bhati was today served with a notice by the diciplinary action committee of the Rajasthan BJP for his alleged anti-party activities, party sources said.
