Vasundhara Raje’s yatra depicts her strength in BJP

A two-day “temple yatra” undertaken by former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje in the Bharatpur region has depicted her strength within the Bharatiya Janata Party, with two dozen MPs and MLAs rallying behind her. Despite a rift visible in the Opposition party, Ms. Raje affirmed that the BJP would uproot the Congress government with people’s support. The recent visit of party national president J.P. Nadda to Jaipur has apparently failed to patch up the differences between the rival camps. With Ms. Raje’s supporters raising the demand for projecting her as the chief ministerial face in the 2023 election, the yatra has sent a clear message that she could not be sidelined any longer.
