(Priyanka Gupta, Intern Journalist) Jaipur: Political uproar has been going on in Rajasthan for many days. Meanwhile, some party leaders have come forward to control the political struggle between Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot. However, several Congress leaders, including CM Gehlot, have placed an apology condition before Pilot and his supporting legislators. In this case, the matter is stuck. The party is upset over the silence of former Chief Minister and veteran BJP leader Vasundhara Raje amidst the ongoing contradiction in the Congress. Many kinds of speculations are being made about them. The state leadership of the party fears that Raje might leave the party.
Vasundhara Raje can take similar steps as separating from BJP
Vasundhara Raje, unhappy with the decisions being made in the party for some time, is worried about BJP leaders not taking any drastic step. Vasundhara Raje is also not attending the party’s programs and meetings. A BJP national official said that Vasundhara Raje, who is seen as silent now, can take similar steps in the coming days.
Vasundhara Raje kept distance from the whole episode
On the other hand, many local leaders including BJP state president Satish Poonia are targeting CM Gehlot for the internal discord of Congress. State BJP leaders hope that if the Gehlot government falls, it will be their chance to come to power. These leaders are constantly making rhetoric, but Vasundhara Raje kept a distance from the whole episode. Meanwhile, he has been accused of colluding with National Democratic Party convenor and MP Hanuman Beniwal Gehlot, who is in the NDA. However, Vasundhara Raje had tweeted in the past and said that she stands with party and ideology, but when BJP leaders from the center to the state level continued to surround the Congress, Raje maintained complete silence.
Congress happy with Raje’s silence
Congress is happy with Vasundhara Raje’s silence. CM Ashok Gehlot says that Vasundhara Raje is a big leader. State BJP President Satish Poonia and Deputy Leader of the Opposition are engaged in a conspiracy to topple the state government, in an affair to confront Vasundhara Raje. At the same time, the state Energy Minister Dr. BD Kalla says that a BJP faction has been formed to weaken Vasundhara Raje. But, they cannot compete with Vasundhara Raje. He said that the present state leadership of BJP wants to come to power by dropping the state government. BJP’s state leadership wants to shore up Vasundhara Raje.
Raje is not happy with the current situation of the party
Sources say that Vasundhara Raje is not happy with the current situation of BJP. Vasundhara’s resentment has increased more than ever in the executive set up two days ago to place opponents like Madan Dilawar and Diya Kumari. In 2018, Vasundhara Raje had a confrontation with the central leadership of the BJP over making Gajendra Daksha Shekhawat the state BJP president. As Chief Minister, Vasundhara Raje had sent half a dozen members of her cabinet and several MLAs to Delhi for lobbying for not making Shekhawat the Speaker. She was also successful in that. Vasundhara was appointed as the BJP’s national vice-president after the party’s defeat in the last assembly election.
