To supervise the legislative party meeting, three BJP leaders, led by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, arrived in Jaipur earlier today.
A key state where the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) returned to power with a resounding majority in the recently concluded elections, Rajasthan, has chosen Bajan Lal Sharma, a first-time MLA from the Sanganer assembly constituency, to be its chief minister. The chief minister-elect was chosen at the legislature party meeting, which was overseen by three BJP observers who traveled to Jaipur earlier today under the direction of defense minister Rajnath Singh.
Vinod Tawde, Sarok Pandey and the Union Minister Prahlad Joshi, the BJP’s Rajasthan organizer, were part of the central team. Both former chief minister Vasundhara Raje and CP Joshi greeted the team.
CM Raje, who served as Chief Minister twice, was considered a strong contender for the position. The candidates for the coveted position had not been made public by the team. But names from the political world had been making the rounds: MP-turned-MLA Balaknath, Raje, Kirrori Lal Meena and Diya Kumari.
Out of the 199 seats in Rajasthan that were up for the elections, the BJP secured 115 seats.
The BJP made unexpected selections in Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh, Mohan Yadav and Vishnu Deo Sai, respectively, taking into account the caste system in these two states prior to the general elections of 2024.
