Jaswant Singh’s son Manvendra Singh directly challenging Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje
Besides anti-incumbency, the BJP suffered a series of high-profile exits before the elections and its
founder-member Jaswant Singh’s son Manvendra Singh, who is directly challenging
Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje of the BJP in her constituency Jhalrapatan.
If the Congress will wins, then they will be forced to confront an issue it has been putting off for months – its chief ministerial candidate.
The party’s old warhorse Ashok Gehlot, a former CM of Rajasthan, has a rival for the top post – state Congress chief Sachin Pilot.
“The high command will decide who will be Chief Minister,” Ashok Gehlot told, calling questions on Sachin Pilot’s credentials for the top job “hypothetical”.
Sachin Pilot asked the same question, he said “I don’t know, My job was to win and we did.
I really think I am a fortunate party president for getting the support to all Rajasthani leaders and workers.
For 70 years it has been the tradition that elected lawmakers to choose the CM. Last month, they all addressed a joint press conference to announce that both of them would fight the polls.
Who among the two would contest the election had been the subject for much speculation. As both were seen as the Cong. candidates for CM.
The party was seen to be reluctant to field one of them if only to avoid the inevitable tussle for the Chief Minister’s post.
