In his address, Shah criticized the Congress party for its alleged divisive agenda, accusing it of attempting to sow discord among regions of the country. He commended the governance model of the BJP-led administration in Rajasthan, lauding its efforts in maintaining communal harmony and fostering development.
Highlighting the achievements of the Narendra Modi government at the Centre, Shah underscored the economic progress witnessed during its tenure. He asserted that under Modi’s leadership, India’s economy has ascended to the fifth position globally and expressed confidence in further advancements if entrusted with another term.
Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma echoed Shah’s optimism, expressing confidence in securing resounding victories with margins exceeding 5 lakh votes in each constituency of Rajasthan.
State BJP chief C.P. Joshi underscored the party’s growing support base, citing the recent induction of former minister Mahendrajeet Singh Malviya into the BJP fold. Malviya, a tribal leader, defected from the Congress, citing grievances over its handling of key issues such as the Ram Temple ceremony in Ayodhya.
In his address, Malviya pledged to leverage his influence to bolster BJP’s presence not only in Rajasthan but also in states like Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, signaling a broader strategic expansion for the party.
As the Lok Sabha elections draw closer, the BJP in Rajasthan appears poised for an intense electoral battle, buoyed by a combination of strategic planning, grassroots mobilization, and high-profile defections from rival parties. With Amit Shah at the helm, the party aims to consolidate its position and achieve unprecedented electoral success in the state and beyond.
