RAJE'S CLAIM TO CM CHAIR BOTHERS BJP LEADERSHIP

'There is hardly any possibility of BJP announcing a CM face in Rajasthan'.

- AJIT MAINDOLA

The BJP central leadership looks to be quite worried even as former Rajasthan chief minister and senior party leader Vasundhara Raje continues to be adamant on her chief ministerial ambition. As Rajasthan gears up for the assembly elections at the end of this year, the high command is faced with the task of dealing with the growing internal tussle of the party.

As part of its damage-control exercise, the high command rushed general secretary and Rajasthan in-charge Arun Singh to attend the event organised by Raje at the Salasar Balaji temple, and also Yuva Morcha's political programme. But the situation is far from under control. Raje's event drew a huge and record crowd, which was more than the gatherings that were seen at her earlier religious programmes in the past. Remarkably, only the posters of PM Narendra Modi and Raje were put up on the stage.
