राजस्थानः कौन हैं भजन लाल शर्मा, जिन्हें पहली बार विधायक बनते ही मिल गई मुख्यमंत्री की कुर्सी
The suspense regarding the new Chief Minister of Rajasthan is over. BJP has announced to make Bhajan Lal Sharma, the first time MLA from BJP stronghold Sanganer seat, as the Chief Minister. Along with that, BJP has announced to make Diya Kumari and Premchand Bairwa the Deputy CM of Rajasthan.
Bhajan Lal Sharma, resident of Bharatpur, Rajasthan, has been a worker and office bearer of ABVP, RSS and BJP for a long time. He has served as General Secretary in Rajasthan four times under different state presidents. This will be his first time on the CM’s chair.
BJP had canceled the ticket of sitting MLA Ashok Lahoti and made him contest elections from a safe seat like Sanganer for the first time. Sanganer seat is the stronghold of BJP. For this reason Bhajan Lal Sharma got an easy victory. In view of his long tenure in the organization in Rajasthan, he has now been given the top post.
Earlier on Tuesday, after the meeting of the legislative party, the observers from Delhi took the decision on Bhajan Lal Sharma. The BJP high command had sent Union Ministers Rajnath Singh, Vinod Tawde and Saroj Pandey to Rajasthan as observers. The three leaders reached Jaipur on Tuesday afternoon and held a meeting with the MLAs.
After this, Union Minister Rajnath Singh met Vasundhara Raje Scindia alone and spoke to BJP National President JP Nadda on phone. Before the party chose Bhajan Lal Sharma for the post of Chief Minister, many names were doing the rounds and Vasundhara Raje was the frontrunner for the top post. But ultimately he had to bow before the high command and give blessings to Bhajanlal.
