Three Rajya Sabha seats have become vacant from Rajasthan. Brainstorming is going on in both the BJP and Congress parties on these three names. After this, now there are Lok Sabha elections. Keeping that in mind, both the parties will take every step carefully here. Congress is now brainstorming on the names of other leaders in place of former PM Manmohan Singh. If sources are to be believed, Sonia Gandhi’s name is almost final in this. Since Sonia Gandhi’s health is not good.
In such a situation, there is also talk of him not contesting the Lok Sabha elections from Rae Bareli. Congress is sending Sonia Gandhi to Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan. There are preparations not to send any of the local leaders to Rajya Sabha. The party wants to show unity from here.
Out of the 10 Rajya Sabha seats of Rajasthan, Congress currently has six members. Except Neeraj Dangi, all the members are outsiders. Manmohan Singh, Pramod Tiwari, KC Venugopal, Randeep Singh Surjewala, Mukul Wasnik, all of them come from Punjab, UP, Kerala, Haryana and Maharashtra. At the same time, two names have to be approved in BJP. But for this also the name will be decided not by the state but by the Centre.Â
BJP can send a Gurjar face to Rajya Sabha
Here BJP is preparing to solve the caste equation. There is also talk of Kshatriyas and Gurjars not getting much representation in the BJP government of the state. In such a situation, BJP can send former leader of opposition Rajendra Rathore and some Gurjar face to Rajya Sabha from here. According to sources, the party wants to send a big message by sending Gurjar leader Vijay Bainsla to Rajya Sabha. Sending Vijay Bainsla to Rajya Sabha will have a big impact on Gurjar voters during the loksabha elections in UP, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal, Uttarakhand, Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir .
BJP government has been formed in Rajasthan. But Gurjar is still not happy. They want strong representation of their caste. All the Rajya Sabha members of BJP from Rajasthan are from the state. Bhupendra Yadav, Gajendra Gehlot, Ghanshyam Tiwari and Kirori Lal Meena have become ministers in the Rajasthan government. In such a situation, BJP will not send any outsider but will send only local leaders to Rajya Sabha. Former leaders of opposition Rajendra Rathore and Vijay Bainsla fit into the caste equation.Â
