Reportedly after days of speculation and brainstorming, the bharatiya janata party (BJP) on tuesday picked mla Bhajanlal Sharma as the new chief minister of the state. The decision was taken during the party’s legislative meeting held under the leadership of the three central observers. First-time mla Bhajanlal Sharma, who was appointed as the new chief minister of rajasthan on tuesday, is currently serving as a member of the rajasthan Legislative assembly and represents the Sanganer assembly constituency, mostly dominated by Brahmins.
As per report an upper-caste candidate, Sharma also served as the State General Secretary for the bharatiya janata party four times. Following the 2023 rajasthan Legislative assembly election, he was elected as an mla from the Sanganer assembly constituency. He is from Bharatpur but was not given a ticket there as the seat was not seen as a winnable one.
Meanwhile the saffron party meticulously chose an interesting caste combination in the state leadership with an upper-caste Brahmin cm, Rajpur deputy cm Diya Kumar and Birwa as its representatives from the scheduled caste background. The legislative meeting took place at the bjp office in the presence of the party’s three central observers led by Defence minister Rajnath Singh. The two other observers are Vinod Tawde and Saroj Pandey. All the newly elected MLAs were asked to compulsorily attend the meeting. Former chief minister Vasundhara Raje and Union ministers arjun Ram Meghwal, gajendra singh shekhawat and ashwini Vaishnaw were said to be among the frontrunners for the chief minister’s post in rajasthan, one of three states that the bjp won in the recent elections.
