Rajasthan has a revolving door system where the incumbent is voted out every five years.
Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party made a modest entry into Rajasthan today with a "Tiranga rally" in the heart of Jaipur's Walled City. Mr Kejriwal's message was arch.
"Ashok Gehlot and Vasundhara Raje are good friends... Give the common man a chance too," said the Delhi Chief Minister, pitching for a third option in the state that has so far witnessed only binary politics.
Rajasthan has a revolving door system where the incumbent is voted out every five years.
Going by tradition, it should be the turn of the BJP in the assembly elections due later this year. But the party is witnessing infighting of sorts, with former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje trying to get the Central leaders pitch her as the Chief Ministerial candidate again.
