Following the defeat in in the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP National President J.P. Nadda will visit Jaipur on Saturday, October 5. Given the current circumstances, this visit holds significant importance for multiple reasons. While the party has linked Nadda’s visit to the membership campaign, it also presents an opportunity to address various pressing issues. During the meetings, Nadda is expected to discuss the situation regarding the Kirori Lal Meena’s resignation, as well as evaluate the performance of other ministers. He may also seek clarifications from the key minister embroiled in controversies and issue strict directives to the cabinet. Supporters of Nadda allege that a local leader has been spreading rumours to tarnish his reputation. They indicate that if the high command permits, he is prepared to address the media to clarify the situation.
The BJP high command is extremely worried about the situation in Rajasthan and has expressed frustration with the performance of certain ministers. Several issues have contributed to this concern, including a disappointing showing in the Lok Sabha elections, the resignation of a minister, conflicting statements among party members, and a lack of enthusiasm among workers for the membership campaign. With by-elections on seven seats approaching next month, the opposition is likely to exploit any incidents to their advantage. Corruption allegations against a minister have come to light, and issues involving his son have added to the troubles. Additionally, discussions about a foreign woman linked to a five-star hotel in Delhi have surfaced, with reports suggesting that these cases have reached the Delhi court. The high command remains cautious, particularly with the upcoming elections in Haryana and the by-elections. The chief minister wants decisions to be in the interest of the common man
Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma is trying to ensure that decisions are taken in the interest of the common man, but questions are being raised on the government due to the supporting ministers.
The party’s national president Nadda may be touring for the party’s membership drive, but he will also resolve the problems being faced due to the government’s image and ministers. The decision on Kirori Lal Meena, who has resigned from the ministerial post, is the most important before the high command regarding the by-elections to be held on seven seats, because persuading the angry Meena voters in the by-elections is a big challenge for BJP. BJP had only one seat out of seven, the remaining six assembly seats were won by the opposition.
In the current environment, it is not very easy for BJP to win all the seats. The party will try to win as many seats as possible. These seven seats are Dausa, Jhunjhunu, Chaurasi, Deoli Uniara, Khinvsar, Salumber and Ramgarh.
After Uttar Pradesh, by-elections will be held on the highest number of seats in Rajasthan
After Uttar Pradesh, by-elections will be held on the highest number of seats. To win these seats, the party will have to find answers to questions ranging from caste resentment to the work of ministers. Nadda can give strict instructions to the leaders on his one-day visit. State President Madan Rathore said that Nadda will be in Jaipur on Saturday.
Nadda will interact with chartered accountants in a hotel located at Statue Circle in the evening and recruit members for the party. State Convener of BJP membership campaign Dr Arun Chaturvedi said that Nadda will interact with the public representatives of the state about the membership campaign at the BJP state office from 8.30 pm.
During this meeting, MPs, former MPs, MP candidates, MLAs, former MLAs, District Head, Mayor, Deputy Mayor along with the team of state membership campaign, and state officials will be present. The review meeting of the membership campaign will be held and the upcoming outline will be discussed in detail.
