Jaipur: The former Chief Minister of Rajasthan Vasundhara Raje on Saturday opens her mouth on the political crisis in Rajasthan. She set asides the blames of Congress party on BJP, to overcome its internal war of power between Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and the former Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot.

That was thought to be essential in the face of charges that the former CM was, in fact, trying to save the Gehlot government. Since few days, the BJP’s feigned acquiescence to the virtual split in the state congress was largely attributed to the fluid situation and inability of Sachin pilot to switch to the BJP camp.

           She said that “It is unfortunate that the people of Rajasthan are paying for the discord within the Congress at a time when Covid-19 has killed over 500 people.” She attempted to be direct – on the one hand, she attacked the Congress and, on the other, she took on her critics within and outside BJP that she was in any way in cahoots with Gehlot. “This has also come at a time when locusts are attacking agricultural fields… There is no point in dragging BJP leaders into this.”

Vasundhara Raje in her tweet said that, “Some people are repeatedly spreading rumours. I have been a loyal worker of the party for 30 years and I stand firmly with the party and its ideology.”It was this statement that sought to stoke the political embers that first drew sustenance from Pilot’s remark of a “hidden nexus” between Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Raje. Besides, a few days ago, RLP MP Hanuman Beniwal had alleged that Raje was trying to save the “minority government.”

Beniwal also claimed that Raje had advised Jat MLAs of Sikar and Nagaur districts not to join Pilot. Sources say Beniwal is backed by the anti-Raje camp within the BJP.
