Rajasthan Politics: Vasundhara Raje missing from PM Modi's meeting

In view of the Lok Sabha elections, BJP has put all its strength into its campaign. Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself has so far held four public meetings and one road show. Apart from these, many star campaigners including Union Minister Amit Shah, National President JP Nadda and UP CM Yogi Adityanath have also created an atmosphere in favor of the party.

But amidst all this, the state's number 1 star campaigner, National Vice President and former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje is still missing from the election activities except for a few presences. Vasundhara was also absent on the stage of the Prime Minister's election rally held in Barmer on Friday. Since then, discussions regarding her name have once again started taking place from political circles to social media.

Vasundhara will be busy in campaigning today, Saturday, 13th April and tomorrow, Sunday, 14th April. According to her campaign program released, she will be on a two-day visit to Kishanganj- Shahbad and Atru in Baran district in Jhalawar Lok Sabha constituency.

During the ongoing two-day programme, Raje will neither address any public election meeting nor hold any road show. During these two days, only the workers will be busy in meetings. In these meetings, the strategy for winning the Jhalawar Lok Sabha seat will be discussed.

On the first day today, she left from Dholpur and reached Kasba police station by road, where she was welcomed by the workers. After this, a meeting of workers of Shahabad division held in Deori town. In the afternoon, she will attend the workers' meeting in Samrania, the welcome program in Bhanwargarh and the meeting of Bhanwargarh Mandal in Nahargarh town. Late in the evening, she has a program to hold another workers' meeting in Kishanganj and discuss the strategy up to the booth level. Night stay will be in Baran only.

Similarly, former Chief Minister Raje will attend the meeting of the city board in Baran tomorrow, Sunday, April 14, at 10 am, after which she will attend the Baran rural board meeting at village Mandola, near the district headquarters, at 12 noon. Then at 2 pm a meeting of workers of Atru, Kawai and Gaughat mandals will be held in Atru town.

The main reason behind star campaigner Vasundhara Raje not being active in the election tours across the state is the presence of her son Dushyant Singh in the election fray. At present, Raje's focus is completely on making his son win again from Jhalawar seat.

It is noteworthy that Vasundhara's son Dushyant is the BJP candidate for the fifth time from Jhalawar Lok Sabha constituency. His direct contest is with Congress candidate Urmila Jain Bhaya. Urmila is the wife of Pramod Jain Bhaya, who was a cabinet minister during the previous Ashok Gehlot government.
