Bharatiya Janta Party Rajasthan has mainly been
conquered by the two aficionados namely; Shri. Bhairon Singh
Shekhawat and Smt. Vasundra Raje. Eminent leader of Bharatiya Janta Party Rajasthan,
Shri. Bhairon Singh Shekhawat is commonly known as “Babosa” and there
is a common saying that “Rajasthan ka ek hi Singh” which is directed
towards him. He entered politics in 1952 and joined Bharatiya Janata Party
in 1980. Shri. Bhairon Singh Shekhawat goverened Rajasthan for many
years and passed away in 2010 at the Sawai Man Singh Hospital in Jaipur.
Late Shri. Shekhawat was in the national political horizon and also
served as the Vice President of India.
Shri. Shekhawat was the Chief Minister of Rajasthan for three terms. This was perhaps the Best phase for Rajasthan as it led to all-round development where the state gained identity on the global level and began to be seen as a rapidly developing and beautiful state. Shri. Shekhawat introduced heritage, rural, desert and wildlife tourism for Rajasthan. He started the “Antyoday Yojna” scheme which was intended to uplift the poorest of the poor. The chairman of the World Bank Robert McNamara, referred to him as the Rockefeller of India.
Shri. Shekhawat became the Vice-President of India in 2002 so he had to leave Rajasthan politics. He appointed Smt. Vasundhara Raje as his successor of Bharatiya Janta Party Rajasthan. Smt. Vasundhara Raje joined Bharatiya Janata Party in 1984 and led the BJP in the 2003 elections to victory. She is the first women Chief Minister of Rajasthan.
A long list of achievements of the 2003 – 2008 BJP government under Smt. Raje can be found on the BJP Rajasthan website. Amongst the honours bestowed upon her, one of the most important achievement was the “Women Together Award’’ in 2007 by the UNO which she received for her exemplary work towards woman empowerment. In March 2013, she was re- elected by the BJP legislators as ‘Leader of Opposition’ in the Legislative Assembly.
Now as elections 2013 are closing in Smt. Raje has become even more prominent as a leader. The dedication that she has shown towards the Rajasthan elections is commendable. After the waves caused by the Suraj Sankalp Sammelan in Jaipur it seems that the return of BJP in Rajasthan after assembly elections 2013 is almost confirmed.
