Rajasthan: Raje, Shekhawat, Meghwal among contenders for CM’s post

Hindustan Times  

The Bharatiya Janata Party, which appears set to return to power in Rajasthan in line with the state’s trend of voting out the incumbent every five years, contested the polls without a chief ministerial candidate. Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the campaign in the state with two-time chief minister Vasundhara Raje, 70, expected to be among the leading contenders for the state’s top elected post. He shot to fame after defeating Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot’s son, Vaibhav, in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from Jodhpur. Raje is believed to have opposed Shekhawat’s appointment as the Rajasthan BJP chief when she was the chief minister.
