Vasundhara Raje Skips BJP Yatra On Home Turf, Questions Raised
NDTV
Ms Raje's absence is even more conspicuous given the fact that chief ministers from other BJP-ruled states, such as Assam's Himanta Biswa Sarma, flew in to add some energy to the party's campaign.
Senior BJP leader Vasundhara Raje's absence from the last leg of her party's Parivartan Yatra on her home ground, the Hadoti area of Rajasthan comprising Kota, Bundi and Jhalawar, has raised questions.
Ms Raje, who was missing from Jhalawar, a constituency she has represented for the past 33 years as MP and MLA, and also from the Parivartan Yatra that ended in Kota on Thursday evening, has sparked speculation about her future in the BJP.
Her absence from the rally, which was attended by Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami and her son Dushyant Singh, was noticeable and led to a lacklustre response from the crowds where a better turnout was expected considering Ms Raje's mass appeal in the area.
