BJP's Raj dilemma: MLAs meet Raje but party plays safe

Jaipur: The BJP's in-charge for Rajasthan Arun Singh said the decision of the party's parliamentary board about the chief minister's post will be acceptable to all even as newly elected MLAs continued to visit ex-CM Vasundhara Raje here, which is seen as a show of strength.

Leaders from Raje camp claimed that nearly 60 MLAs have met her at her residence since Monday. Raje, a twotime former chief minister, is said to be among the frontrunners for the post this time also.

The BJP swept the Assembly elections in the state, winning 115 of the 199 seats where polling took place. BJP will call a legislature party meeting before announcing the name of the chief minister.

The announcement of the meeting has not been made yet. Raje has been the CM twice from 2003 to 2008 and from 2013 to 2018.
