The Gehlot Factor, Pilot's Litmus Test & Raje's Comeback Plans: Which Way Will Rajasthan Wind Blow? - News18

News 18  

The first thing that strikes you as you enter Jaipur, also called the Pink City, are the huge pink hoardings lining the capital city. As you cross the Bharat Jodo Setu, inaugurated during Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra, it’s clear that the hoardings are an attempt to beat the cyclical pattern of poll results which ensures each time a different party comes to power. In the last polls, Gujjars — the caste he belongs to — had en-mass voted for the Congress and one of the reasons was that they believed Pilot could be chief minister. VASUNDHARA’S ACID TEST In stark contrast is the BJP office and homes of the party’s top leaders. But while they are vocal in talking about Gehlot’s ‘corruption’ and Pilot’s future, when it comes to ‘Rani Sahiba’ Vasundhara Scindia, there is total silence.
