Chunav Manch: Arun Singh, the general secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), emphasised the complete unity among the party's leaders, distinguishing it from the evident discord within the Congress. Singh expressed confidence in the mutual trust existing among BJP leaders, contrasting it with the lack of confidence observed among Congress leaders. He made these remarks during India TV's Chunav Manch, focusing on the elections. Singh also addressed concerns related to women's safety and paper leaks in the state, bringing attention to the rising cases of atrocities against women.
Singh's statement underlines the BJP's commitment to presenting a united front, emphasising the cohesion among its leadership. This narrative seeks to portray the party as a well-knit and harmonious political force, in contrast to the reported internal struggles within the Congress.
In response to Congress MLA Divya Maderna's claim about feeling unsafe, Singh's comments suggest that Congress is grappling with internal challenges that may affect the overall functioning and electoral performance of the party. Singh's reference to Ashok Gehlot's perceived shortcomings as the Chief Minister further contributes to the BJP's narrative of offering more capable and effective leadership.
As the election discourse intensifies, Arun Singh's statements on India TV's Chunav Manch provide insight into the BJP's strategy of projecting unity and leadership stability. The contrast drawn with the Congress aims to sway public opinion in favour of the BJP, positioning the party as a more cohesive and reliable choice for governance in the upcoming elections.
Polling to take place on November 25
Earlier, the Election Commission of India (EC) announced that Rajasthan will go to polls on November 25 while the counting of votes will take place on December 3. Meanwhile, the state will witness polling in a single phase. Rajasthan has a 200-member strong Assembly. In Rajasthan – which will see a direct fight between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on November 25 – anti-incumbency is an important factor. Since 1993, when the BJP came to power after a stint of President's Rule, the state has alternated between the Congress and the BJP.
