Why clash of Meghwals is bad news for Rajasthan BJP

India Today  

Are continuing uncertainties in the Rajasthan BJP beginning to take a toll finally? On August 28, party veteran Kailash Meghwal publicly questioned the integrity of Arjun Ram Meghwal, the Union minister of state for law and justice. Kailash Meghwal and a number of prominent state BJP leaders with a good record of winning elections have been increasingly feeling sidelined. When Congress leader Sachin Pilot rebelled against chief minister Ashok Gehlot in 2020, there were accusations that the BJP had plotted or backed it, with Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat allegedly being in the lead. Incidentally, Arjun Ram, who at times has been seen as a contender for BJP chief ministership in Rajasthan, had locked horns with Raje too, when he strongly resisted her attempt to bring back into the party fold Devi Singh Bhatti, a prominent Rajput leader from Bikaner.
