Two representatives of the Rajasthan government will attend the parleys with Gujjar Arakshan Sangharsh Samiti led by a retired colonel Kirori Singh Bainsla (70) at the community stronghold in Bharatpur district.
"We have agreed to hold talks in Bayana tomorrow," S N Thanvi, Rajasthan government's chief negotiator told reporters.
The fresh Gujjar agitation for getting Scheduled Tribe status for their community since May 23 has left 43 people killed in police firing and clashes.
After the Gujjar leadership agreed to hold the first talks on Friday, the two sides squabbled over the venue. The community leaders wanted the talks to be held in Bayana but the state government insisted on Jaipur as the venue.
In a bid to break the deadlock to bring Bainsla to the negotiating table, the state authorities earlier in the day worked out a middle path offering to hold preliminary parleys with the Gujjar leadership in Bayana provided the main talks took place in Jaipur.
Bainsla, who is camping in violence-hit Karwadi-Pilupura area, about 5 km from Bayana, said that if the preliminary talks were "fruitful" and held in a "conducive" atmosphere, he would proceed to Jaipur for further parleys.
The state government also appeared to have set a pre-condition for the talks insisting that the size of the Gujjar delegation for the Bayana talks be restricted to a dozen. The Gujjar leadership has forwarded names of 45 representatives to the authorities.
The state government has asked Bainsla not to include the names of Gujjar leaders from Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab and Delhi since the matter was related to Rajasthan.
Thanvi told reporters earlier in Bayana that "we are in touch with Bainsla on mobile phone. We are willing to have preliminary talks at Bayana on the condition that the main talks will be held in Jaipur only".
Thanvi, who is Principal Secretary (Irrigation), said, "We have advised him that the talks will be convened between a delegation of the state government and the Gujjar group which should not exceed a specified number".
Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje's earlier offer to the Gujjar leadership to hold talks was stuck over the choice of the venue.
