Raje returned to Jaipur from Delhi after several weeks. In Delhi she met several senior party leaders including union home minister Amit Shah. At the BJP’s National Office Bearers meeting on February 21, Raje met prime minister Narendra Modi.
Poonia also attended the meet in Delhi where party leaders are said to have advised both factions to resolve their differences.
Speculation about Raje being sidelined in the state politics has been doing the rounds since a long time.
The meeting also comes in the backdrop of Raje loyalists becoming increasingly vocal in demanding her return to centre-stage in the state’s politics. Some of her supporters have been demanding that she be declared the CM face for the 2023 assembly polls.
Raje is also planning to launch a religious yatra from Bharatpur on March 8, which also happens to be her birthday.
Arun Singh had announced the core group for Rajasthan in January in a bid to stop the infighting among leaders in the state. The core group has 12 members including Raje in an effort to balance all the opposing camps. Singh also stated clearly that the CM face of the party would be decided by the BJP’s Parliamentary Board and not by social media.
