Six months before to the elections anticipated for December of this year, is the BJP running short of problems in Rajasthan?
This is the query being discussed in political circles in light of the saffron party’s decision to remain silent even as the in power Congress asserts that it is making a comeback.
Surprisingly, the BJP appears to be sitting still and no significant issues are being seen emerging aside from the tried-and-true ones like Modi’s face, rising crime, false promises of loan waiver, and so on. This is in contrast to the Congress, which has been tallying its points and crafting success stories via OPS, health, and social security.
Even upper management, according to sources who spoke to IANS, wants local leaders to return after the Karnataka incident with fresh ideas. The ordinary man’s pulse should be read by these concepts, but up to this point, all leaders have shown no understanding of it.
Up till Friday night, the Mehangai Rahat Camp of the Congress administration had given out more than 5.09 crore guarantee cards, and 1.11 crore households have benefitted.
The state government’s assistance camps are reaching new heights of achievement and breaking records every day. According to authorities, the number of guarantee cards distributed in less than a month has surpassed 5 crores due to the people’s excitement for the camps.
73.32 lakh people are covered by the Chief Minister’s Free Annapurna Food Packet Scheme, 66.51 lakh people are covered by the Chief Minister’s Free Domestic Electricity Scheme, and 39.01 lakh people are covered by the Indira Gandhi Gas Cylinder Subsidy Scheme. More than 3.86 lakh people have enrolled under the Indira Gandhi Urban Employment Guarantee Scheme, while 42.86 lakh people have registered under the Chief Minister’s Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. Similar registrations have been made for the Chief Minister Chiranjeevi Health Insurance Scheme, the Chief Minister Chiranjeevi Accidental Insurance Scheme, the Social Security Pension Scheme, the Chief Minister Kamdhenu Bima Yojana, and 36.69 lakh others.
IANS attempted to contact C.P. Joshi, the state president of the BJP, on the approaching problems for the assembly elections, but there was no response.
The party workers are perplexed since the other seasoned leaders are likewise mute.
Vasundhara Raje, a former chief minister, keeps busy by traveling and criticizing the Gehlot administration whenever the mood strikes. In fact, her absence from the state executive meeting in Ladnoon on Saturday also drew attention.
Recently, the party appointed CP Joshi to succeed Satish Poonia as state president. The plan was to halt the fractions because Poonia and Raje, according to insiders, were having trouble.
Even with this transition, the party leaders are still operating in their respective capacities, and no major problems are currently anticipated that may indicate the party’s success. However, party members are convinced that they will prevail since the populace in this country never permits one party to hold office twice.
The BJP party officials, who once claimed to be the face of the state’s chief executive, have now embraced quiet. But since everyone is working and tackling diverse problems independently, not a single problem is growing strongly.
Recently, party members held Hanuman Chalisa in 250 Jaipur wards to protest what they claim was the Gehlot government’s carelessness, which allowed the Rajasthan High Court to exonerate everyone in the Jaipur serial explosion case.
Even the party leaders debated the lack of a single, standalone event to make a statement.
Lack of cooperation at such a vital moment is also hurting the chances of the saffron party.
According to party insiders, party officials are now preoccupied with Karnataka. They will now focus on Rajasthan and choose seasoned leaders to investigate the problems that might aid in winning the desert state.
Once May is through, you’ll notice a change in how the parties function. Although we were unable to combat the 40% commission problem Congress imposed on Karnataka, we would fight back here to allow the lotus to grow, they said.
It’s Jungle Raj in Rajasthan, but people have unflinching trust in Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said state BJP president CP Joshi in a recent remark.This demonstrates that the party will run for office using Modi’s image.
Everyone is waiting to see whatever problems the saffron party will use to oppose the Gehlot administration’s social security programs in the meanwhile.
