What is happening in Rajasthan ?
Sunday, September 13, 2009
Have you been following this?
Does the party have an alternative agenda to put forward or an able leader to lead in Rajasthan.
If not, where is the point is asking Raje to step down.
Throw some light if you can.....

Raje is quite an appealing leader but i am taking a hard look at this decision as it was taken by Advani . Advani has changed the leadership of gujarat in a similar fashion when the BJP's fortunes were coming down in 2001 . We didn't know MODI then did we ,, similarly we may not know much about the Advani's plans ... Raje is a leader with 'Chutzpah' , has been in news more for her ramp walks and plush helicopters and cars .. She might have done good work but she doesn't much about image management which is the key in India . She definitely does not look austere and she is torturously flamboyant ,,, you may ask me what's wrong with it ... but that's the way Indian politics is ... Look at the way Sonia gandhi and Sheila Dixit dresses and our own vasundhara ,,,, it's not about dress dear it's a just a point to point at her maturity ... you need to be sober about your looks ... and the news you make ...
After reading your comment I am reminded of Uma Bharti episode.
But it need not always play out like that.
Look at How BJP hold's things up in several other states where it snatched power of decades of struggle . In gujarat they hung on for the last 20 years , Madhyapradesh and Chattisgarh have been retained despite less organizational strength compared to Rajasthan . BJP got elected in rajasthan because of intense activity of the cadres and Vasundhara was only there to consolidate the gains made by the cadres . The RSS is immensely strong over there . And this lady loses that state despite the organization and having performed reasonably well .
The post poll dissection has forced the leaders to take a hard look at Vasundhara's image . I am sure Advani might not have taken that decision had it been anti-incumbency .Rajasthan needed that change . Vasundhara will be given her rightful place in the national polity .
I would have never imagined that the strength of the organisation is greater in Rajasthan than in MP.
She never seemed an appealing leader to me, as a matter of fact. And I am not aware of the ground situation in Rajasthan.
Going by what you say and what I now understand, to give her a role in national affairs seems to be a very suicidal proposition.
