Amid tussle over leadership, party seeks to put up a united front
Facing internal feuds and tussle over the leadership issues, the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party in Rajasthan has kicked off the campaign for the Assembly byelections in four constituencies, the dates for which are yet to be announced. A series of party workers’ meetings have been planned in the run-up to the bypolls.
The State unit has been confronted with factionalism since the formation of an outfit supporting former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje and a section of the party leaders demanding that she be declared the chief ministerial candidate for the 2023 Assembly election. The BJP has officially deprecated the attempts to project any individual as the CM.
