JAIPUR: BJP is taking out 'Parivartan Yatras' in different regions of Rajasthan, covering all 200 Assembly constituencies, however, the party workers are "missing absence" of former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje and are clueless why "no prominent face" is leading the campaign.
The BJP workers say Raje was a crowd puller and used to bring in motivation and excitement among workers during her rallies. These workers said that they are shying away to attend these yatras at different places as they claim that they have no connection with so-called local leaders as there is not one face but many faces in the party leading from the front who are keeping them confused. In fact, in many parts of the state, the party leaders were left red-faced as there was just no crowd in the rallies but only vacant chairs making news.
Gulaab Singh from Pokhran assembly says, “When former CM Vasundhara Raje used to take out rallies, there used to be excitement around and women also participated. However, these days, women participation is less. Also, after Raje, there has been no strong face in the party whom party workers can consider as their leader. So senior leaders should think on this front and bring a face whom party workers can go to discuss their local issues.” “Presently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been made the face of elections, however, we can’t reach out to him for every local issue, and hence comes the challenge at grassroots level,” he added.
Another leader, Lokesh from Barmer assembly said that the Gehlot government has already tapped the 50 per cent population of women by giving them free mobiles, there is huge rush coming in, however, BJP is yet to launch any such initiative in Rajasthan. Even though the BJP government has announced to give Rs 3000 to women under 'Ladli Behna' scheme, however, any such announcement is yet to be made in Rajasthan which can lure women voters. (IANS)
