“Cutting across the party lines, the government of different states should collectively come forward to sort out the issue,” Shekhawat told reporters here.

Shekhawat, a former chief minister of Rajasthan, refused to comment on the Gujjar reservation issue. He only said, “Either the government or Gujjar leaders can tell you about it.”

The former vice-president said he no longer wanted to contest elections. “I am now 75 years old and do not want to contest elections.”
