Rajasthan BJP caught in turbulence

As factionalism brews, show-cause notice served on ex-Minister for speaking out against State leadership
The Rajasthan BJP is facing its own set of turmoil, with former Minister Rohitash Sharma speaking out against the State leadership, accusing it of “running the party from within office rooms” during the COVID-19 pandemic. The party served a show-cause notice on him for indiscipline but the incident has drawn attention to the fact that the cleavage in the party between the factions that owe loyalty and those who oppose former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje continues to exist and flare up. Ms. Raje, a leader who headed two governments, continues to remain strong within the party with much support while the national leadership has remained wary of her power. Attempts to place Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat as the State president came a cropper a couple of years ago when she stood her ground.
