It could be a surprising decision. but the saffron party feels the move will fetch it some extra votes. Tonk district in poll-bound Rajasthan is a Muslim stronghold district.
Therefore, the decision to appoint Ramesh Bidhuri as the leader in charge of its affairs in the Tonk district has triggered a political row.
The South Delhi MP courted controversies after he hurled communal slurs and abuse at Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MP Danish Ali in the Lok Sabha on the last day of recently held special session of Parliament.
Tonk significantly has a sizable Gujjar population and the BJP is expecting Bidhuri to swing the votes for it. At present, the three assembly constituencies in the Tonk district are with the Congress and the BJP has only the Malpura sea.
What makes Ashok Gehlot say so?
"I would like to request Prime Minister Modi ji that whenever you come next time, these days you are giving guarantee, so you give a guarantee that the schemes that we have started will not be stopped if (BJP) government is formed," Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said.
He said that Modi should say that the Old Pension Scheme (OPS), laws enacted by the Congress government and the Indira Gandhi Urban Employment Guarantee Scheme will remain.
Gehlot also targeted Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, questioning his "frequent" visits to Rajasthan.
Hitting out at central ministers touring the poll-bound state, the chief minister alleged that they do not have any job in Delhi as the prime minister has started a "new system where RSS functionary sits in departments" to get the work done.
The 2023 Rajasthan Legislative Assembly election is scheduled to be held by year end to elect 200-member Legislative Assembly.
The tenure of Rajasthan Legislative Assembly is scheduled to end on January 14th, 2024.
The BJP's crucial meeting regarding shortlisting the names of candidates for the upcoming Rajasthan Assembly elections was held on Wednesday night. Another meeting was called on Thursday morning.
Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP president JP Nadda national Organisational General Secretary BL Santosh are taking stock of the ground situation.
Speculation is rife that the BJP may adopt a Madhya Pradesh-like strategy by fielding senior leaders, MPs and union ministers in the elections.
