The political landscape in Rajasthan is heating up as the BJP has emerged victorious in the legislative battle, toppling the Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government. However, the focus has now shifted to the debate over who will be the next chief minister.
Former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje Scindia is reportedly keen on making a comeback as the Chief Minister. However, the central leadership of the BJP is inclined towards trying new faces in the state. This has sparked a power struggle within the party.
Following the legislative victory, 7 sitting MPs from the BJP have entered the state politics. Four of them emerged victorious, while three faced defeat. The central leadership has reportedly asked the winners to resign as MPs, indicating that they have ‘big roles’ to play in the state. This move has also raised uncertainty over the Lok Sabha ticket for the three MPs who lost in the assembly contest.
There are speculations that three of the winning MPs are being considered for the post of Chief Minister. If Vasundhara Raje is chosen as the chief minister, the winning MPs are likely to be appointed as ministers or heads of important government institutions. On the other hand, the MPs who lost in the assembly contest may not be considered for the next Lok Sabha elections.
Vasundhara Raje has stated that she will withdraw from active politics after this time. Meanwhile, Baba Balaknath, a monk, is actively being considered for the post of Chief Minister. The BJP sees him as capable of laying the foundation for Hindutva politics in Rajasthan. Kirodi Lal Meena and other prominent leaders are also being considered for the top position.
The power struggle within the BJP in Rajasthan has intensified, and all eyes are now on the central leadership’s decision regarding the future chief minister of the state.
