Vasundhara Raje In BJPs 2nd Rajasthan List, Supporters Accommodated Too
NDTV
In its second list, BJP also fielded Narpat Singh Rajvi from Chittorgarh from Vidhyadhar Nagar seat after its earlier decision to deny the five-term MLA.
Vasundhara Raje, former Rajasthan chief minister, was among the 83 candidates announced by BJP to contest in the upcoming state assembly electins. Ms Raje will contest from her traditional Jhalrapatan seat.
Ms Raje being sidelined in BJP's first list of candidates had drawn sharp reactions from the opposition. But in a move that is seen as an attempt to balance political equations, several of Ms Raje's supporters also feature in BJP's new list.
Ms Raje has been at loggerheads with Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and has not been visible in BJP's election blitz yet. The two leaders have not been close ever since Ms Raje opposed Mr Shekhawat's appointment as BJP chief in Rajasthan in 2018 saying it would distance the jaat community from the party in the 2018 elections.
