Former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje is not visible in the ongoing Parivartan Sankalp Yatras. She only attended the inauguration events of these yatras. Afterwards, she did not participate in the organized yatras and gatherings. Meanwhile, prominent leaders from other states, along with central ministers associated with the state, have campaigned for the BJP in Rajasthan through the Parivartan Sankalp Yatras.
Former CM Vasundhara Raje’s absence is now raising several questions in the state.
Earlier, three days ago, when journalists questioned BJP’s State In-charge Arun Singh about Vasundhara Raje’s absence in the Parivartan Yatras, he did not provide a direct answer. However, he did mention that former CM Raje was present at the commencement of the yatras and will continue to be visible in upcoming Parivartan Yatras. Nevertheless, her name has not appeared in the programs scheduled for the coming days.
The conclusion of the first yatra took place in Sawai Madhopur on September 2. On this day, after the traditional worship and puja of Lord Trinetra Ganesh ji in Ranthambore, the yatra was inaugurated. The program was attended by JP Nadda, BJP’s National President. Vasundhara Raje was present at this event. Similarly, after that, she was present at the inauguration ceremonies of the second and third yatras held at Beneshwar and Ramdevra respectively, but she hasn’t been seen accompanying the yatras since.
It should be noted that the Parivartan Sankalp Yatra organized by the BJP is being conducted in all 33 districts and 200 assembly constituencies of the state. This yatra covers a total distance of 9576 kilometres. Not only this, prominent Chief Ministers from other states like Gujarat CM Bhupendra Patel, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sharma, and Goa CM Pramod Sawant have been scheduled to participate in the concluding events of these yatras. In this scenario, Vasundhara Raje’s absence is becoming a matter of concern for BJP workers.
Narayan Pancharya, Coordinator of, the Election Management Committee, said, “Former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje is currently in Delhi. She has also been invited to participate in the yatras. Her program for the yatras will be finalized soon.”
