  • Rajasthan BJP reshuffled its top team

    Rajasthan BJP reshuffled its top team

    Jaipur (IANS) With less than six months left for the Rajasthan assembly elections, the BJP has announced a major reshuffle in its state unit.

    Under this, Alwar MP Mahant Balak Nath has been made the State Vice President. Nath belongs to the OBC Yadav community, who defeated veteran Congress leader Bhanwar Jitendra Singh from Alwar in the 2018 Lok Sabha elections.

    MLA Madan Dilawar, a critic of Raje, who was in the previous executive, has been dropped from the latest list. Dilawar was sidelined during Raje’s tenure, but was brought back under former state BJP chief Satish Poonia.

    Meanwhile, BJP’s Rajsamand MP Diya Kumari has retained her position in the list of office-bearers.

    BJP sources said that the new names have been included keeping in view the social engineering equations.

    The new 29-member list has 11 state vice-presidents, five general secretaries, 11 secretaries, one treasurer and one co-treasurer. The emphasis has been on OBCs, MBCs, SCs and STs in the 29-member executive committee to “achieve social engineering just before the elections”, party leaders said.

    It is necessary to mention here that assembly elections are to be held in Rajasthan in December.

    This step by C.P. This comes three months after Joshi took over as the state BJP president. The new BJP state executive follows the one that was constituted in 2020 during the tenure of Satish Poonia, who headed the committee between 2019 and 2023.

    The names of OBC and MBC (Most Backward Class) leaders as well as leaders from Jat, Gujjar, Yadav, Bishnoi, Kumawat and Saini castes have been included in the list, and so have the names of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities.

    The emphasis has been on backward castes, SCs and STs to achieve social engineering just before elections.

    Party sources said some of the new vice-presidents include Tonk-Sawai Madhopur MP Sukhbir Jaunapuria, who is from the Gujjar community, former MP C.R. Chowdhary and Santosh Ahlawat – both Jats – and former minister Prabhulal Saini, some of whom are supporters of former CM Vasundhara Raje.

  • Congress has more faith in Hinduism than BJP, claims Ashok Gehlot

    Congress has more faith in Hinduism than BJP, claims Ashok Gehlot

    Jaipur (IANS) Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has claimed that the Congress has more faith in Hinduism than the BJP. He said that we will not allow BJP to make Hindutva its agenda in Rajasthan. All religions, castes and classes will do politics together in the state.

    Chief Minister Gehlot, during a tour of the cyclone-hit Pali-Jalore districts on Wednesday, said that the Congress has more faith in Hinduism than the BJP. There are many people in the saffron party who have nothing to do with Hinduism. They have become Hindu just to do politics on the construction of Ram temple. Slowly, now their secrets are being revealed.

    Talking to the media, Gehlot said that his party has moved forward to serve the cows. He told that first of all we gave grant while serving the cows, but never asked for votes in its name. Despite doing very little for cows, the BJP openly seeks votes in the name of ‘Gaumata’.

    Responding to the Chief Minister’s allegations, BJP State President CP Joshi said that by making such statements, Gehlot wanted to divert attention from the incident of gang-rape of a Dalit girl in Khajuwala, Bikaner. Right now the victim’s family needs justice.

    Why doesn’t the chief even care about this barbaric incident? They just want to divert the attention of the people from this, but the people of the state know everything. BJP will give a befitting reply to this at the appropriate time.

    Targeting Priyanka Gandhi, BJP state president C.P. Joshi said that the Congress leader used to repeatedly say ‘ladki hoon ladh sakti hoon’, it is time she should come to Rajasthan, as women atrocities are at its peak in the state.

    He said that Rajasthan is nothing more than a tourist destination for Priyanka. Ashok Gehlot should introduce Priyanka Gandhi to the affected families.
