Ahead of assembly elections in Rajasthan, the state BJP party today announced two key committees - the election management committee and manifesto committee.
The 21-member election management committee is headed by former MP Narayan Panchariya and there will be six co-coordinators. Lok Sabha MP Arjun Ram Meghwal will be the coordinator of the Pradesh Sankalp Patra (manifesto) committee. The announcement was made by BJP state president C P Joshi and in-charge for Rajasthan, Arun Singh.
BJP National Vice-president and former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje is not part of any of these panels. While responding to a question regarding the absence of former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje in the two committees, Prahlad Joshi said ‘Vasundhara Raje is our very esteemed leader. We have involved her in many programmes and will continue to do so in the future’. Rajasthan is scheduled to go to the polls later this year along with Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Telangana.
