In a surprising turn of events, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma sent a charter plane to bring a disgruntled BJP worker, Narendra Meena, to Jaipur in an attempt to pacify him. This unusual gesture occurred after the BJP's announcement of candidates for the upcoming Rajasthan by-elections, which has sparked protests within the party.
Internal Unrest in BJP After Candidate AnnouncementThe BJP recently declared its candidates for six out of seven assembly seats in the by-elections, but this has led to significant internal opposition. Some party members and their supporters have expressed dissatisfaction with the chosen candidates, with a few even threatening to contest as independents. In response, senior BJP leaders have begun formulating strategies to handle the situation.
Why the Chief Minister Sent His PlaneNarendra Meena, a prominent party worker, was particularly unhappy with the decision to field Shanta Devi Meena from the Salumber assembly seat. To address this, CM Bhajanlal Sharma took an unprecedented step by sending a charter plane to bring Meena to Jaipur. Along with this, senior party members, including Shrichand Kriplani and MLA Udaylal, were sent to Salumber to negotiate with Meena.
Emotional Breakdown and Threat to Contest IndependentlyAt a meeting on Sunday, Meena became so emotional that he reportedly broke down in tears, pleading with the party to reconsider its decision. He expressed his readiness to contest the elections as an independent if his concerns were not addressed, further complicating the party’s internal dynamics. This situation poses a significant challenge for the BJP, as it highlights the party’s internal struggles ahead of the by-elections.
Congress Steps Up Its Candidate Selection ProcessWhile the BJP is grappling with internal discord, the Congress party has also begun accelerating its candidate selection process. A meeting has been scheduled to finalize the candidate panel, with the announcement of Congress candidates expected by Monday or Tuesday.
The Real Test: Upcoming By-Elections on 7 SeatsThe internal unrest in both BJP and Congress could have a notable impact on the political scenario in the forthcoming by-elections. With seven seats up for grabs, both parties are facing the challenge of maintaining unity and minimizing opposition from within.
These developments indicate that the upcoming by-elections will be a real test of the internal stability and strategy of both the BJP and Congress.
