No rift in Rajasthan BJP: Dhami on Raje’s absence
Jhalawar: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Wednesday dismissed speculation about factionalism within the BJP’s Rajasthan unit after veteran leader Vasundhara Raje was left off the party’s Parivartan Sankalp Yatra on her home turf.
The absence of Raje, a former Rajasthan chief minister and Union minister, from the event in Jhalawar -- which she has represented for 33 years in various capacities -- triggered speculation of a rift within the party.
He also expressed confidence that the BJP will return to power in Rajasthan, where assembly elections are due later this year.
Meanwhile, MLA Madan Dilawar’s son slapped a BJP worker. This incident happened before Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami joined the yatra.
