PM To Visit Key Gujjar Area In Rajasthan. Not Political, Says BJP Leader

In the last Rajasthan election, the BJP had given tickets to nine people from the Gujjar community
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Malaseri in Rajasthan's Bhilwara tomorrow on the 1111th birth anniversary of Bhagwan Dev Narayan.
Though this visit has been organised by the culture ministry, it comes 10 months before the assembly election in Rajasthan.
Malaseri is the birthplace of Bhagwan Dev Narayan, greatly revered in the area, especially among the Gujjars, who are now an important source of support for the election for both the BJP and the Congress.
In the last election, the BJP had given tickets to nine people from the Gujjar community. They all lost as the Gujjar vote shifted to the Congress in the hope that Sachin Pilot would become the first Gujjar Chief Minister of Rajasthan.
