Former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje skips core group’s first meeting in Jaipur
A 16-member core group of the Bharatiya Janata Party, formed to address infighting and factionalism in the party’s Rajasthan unit, has started making strategies to counter the ruling Congress in the run-up to by-election in four State Assembly constituencies.
The core group held its first meeting here on Sunday.
The upcoming budget session of the Assembly, starting on February 10, is also likely to give an opportunity to BJP to raise some important issues. BJP has completed its initial round of election campaign by organising party workers’ meetings in three of these constituencies.
The first meeting of a newly formed 16-member core group of the BJP, which has been put in place amid reports of factionalism within the party, was held in Jaipur on Sunday.
National vice president and former chief minister Vasundhara Raje, Leader of Opposition Gulabchand Kataria and Rajya Sabha MP Bhupendra Yadav, however, skipped the meeting for different reasons, a party leader said here. State BJP president Satish Poonia said various organisational issues were discussed in the meeting of the core group. Raje could not attend as her daughter-in-law is unwell, while Kataria and Yadav had separate engagements, he said.
