Rajasthan: Cracks appear in BJP during national general secretary’s visit | Jodhpur News
JODHPUR: BJP continues to remain divided around former chief minister Vasundhara Raje and state BJP president Satish Poonia. This division was affirmed in Jodhpur also during two-day visit of national general secretary C T Ravi.
This all started unfolding with the installation of posters to welcome Ravi in Jodhpur, where the first series of posters had picture of Raje with complete omission of Poonia.
When these posters started creating furore in the party, these posters were first changed to have a picture of Poonia in inset with other leaders including Raje and finally in the last change, he was given a prominent place in the posters with national president J P Nadda. City party president Devendra Joshi, however, rubbished this goof up as purely unintentional and attributed it to a printing mistake.
While the party unit of city had just heaved a sigh of relief after tiding over this crisis, city saw fresh series of posters on Monday bearing the picture of Raje only in prominence with a picture of Ravi on the other side. Installed on the entire route from the airport to the circuit house, these posters also had also pictures of prime minister Narendra Modi, president JP Nadda and Rajasthan incharge Arun Singh on top but in small sizes. But the source of these posters and credit therein were absolutely missing making it a suspicious case that who installed these posters.
Joshi also claimed that these posters were not installed by the city unit or party organization and had no idea about the source of these posters. The first set of posters, however, had been installed by the city unit of party organization but they also began with neglecting of Poonia and intended to affirm the importance of Raje over him. Division Media Incharge of BJP Jagdihs Dhanadia, however, asserted that Raje was given place as National vice president and Poonia’s picture was omitted by mistake. “Later we kept Raje as it is and gave befitting space to Pooniaji beside National President Naddaji”, said Dhanadia.
