Be it at the state level or at the party's organizational level, BJP is in full swing to defeat the incumbent Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government in poll-bound Rajasthan.
The Congress high command may have projected that 'all is well' between Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot by conducting a meeting separately in Delhi with both the Rajasthan bigwigs posing together for photos. The grand old party has sent across the message to its political opponent that it will fight the upcoming state Assembly election unitedly with both Gehlot and Pilot standing united to take on the BJP. However, the meeting came close on the heels of Pilot's "ultimatum" that he would launch a statewide agitation if his three demands from the Rajasthan government were not met by the end of this month.
At the same time, BJP is also facing factionalism issues within its own party ranks.
On one hand there is former Chief Minister and BJP senior leader Vasundhara Raje Scindia, who is still not ready to give up her claim to the CM's post, while on the other hand, the names of Union Ministers Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Arjun Ram Meghwal, former state BJP President Satish Poonia and Opposition Leader Rajendra Rathore, including many other BJP leaders, are also continuously doing rounds projecting their claims to the CM candidate in Rajasthan.
