Rajasthan News: Despite its previous electoral successes in Rajasthan, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is facing significant hurdles as it gears up for the upcoming elections. A combination of intra-party disputes, defections, debates over development issues, and unrest among various segments of society has created a challenging environment for the saffron party. Here’s a closer look at nine constituencies where local factors are posing obstacles for the BJP.
BJP Faces Tough Challenges in Key Rajasthan Seats
1. Churu: The recent turnout in Churu was notable, with a contest marked by a clash between Congress candidate Rahul Kaswan and BJP supporter Rajendra Rathore. The replacement of incumbent BJP MP Rahul Kaswan with Paralympic gold medallist Devendra Jhajharia has fueled tensions, turning the race into a caste conflict between Jats and Rajputs.
2. Nagaur: Positioned in the Jat heartland, Nagaur has witnessed a fierce battle between rival factions of the Mirdha family, prominent political figures in Rajasthan under the Congress banner. The feud, dating back decades, has intensified, leading to a shift in support towards Hanuman Beniwal, who now leads the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party in an alliance with Congress. The contest between Beniwal and Jyoti Mirdha, who recently crossed over to BJP, has highlighted generational divides and resulted in sporadic violence on polling day.
The BJP’s dominance in Rajasthan is being challenged by a combination of historical rivalries, shifting allegiances, and discontentment among various communities. As the elections unfold, the outcome in these key constituencies will be closely watched to gauge the political landscape in the state.
