Visit set to deepen divide between rival factions in State unit
The ongoing tour of former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje to six districts in southern Rajasthan, mainly in the Mewar region, has created ripples in the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party in the aftermath of the recent State Assembly byelections, in which the party suffered a humiliating defeat. The visit is set to deepen the divide between rival factions in the State unit.
Ms. Raje, also party national vice-president, is paying obeisance at some prominent temples in the region and visiting the families of the departed party leaders to offer her condolences during the four-day visit. Though she has declared that her tour is “religious” in nature, it is being seen here as a strategy to assert her dominance in the BJP.
