Rajasthan Politics: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Jaipur on Tuesday was special in many ways. However, before PM Modi reached the stage, a picture came out which created a stir in political circles. For a long time, there were reports of bitterness in the relationship between Vasundhara Raje and Diya Kumari, who are famous in Rajasthan politics. But in Jaipur, both the leaders came face to face on this stage and that moment became the center of discussion.Rajmahal dispute and increasing bitternessAfter the Rajmahal dispute in Rajasthan, political cracks between Vasundhara Raje and Diya Kumari started deepening. During the Vasundhara Raje government, when the issue of illegal encroachment on the Rajmahal was raised and the property was sealed, the entire royal family came out on the streets. Since this incident, tension was seen between the two royal families, and considering Diya Kumari as an alternative to Vasundhara Raje, the mutual tension among her supporters kept increasing.This tension became more evident during the Rajasthan Assembly elections. Vasundhara Raje targeted Diya Kumari several times from the stage through gestures, while on the other hand Diya Kumari was constantly presented as the leader of the new generation.Shocking picture: Dialogue and greetingsWhen both the leaders reached the stage before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally in Jaipur, the political temperature suddenly rose.

On the stage, Diya Kumari greeted Vasundhara Raje by touching her feet and a long conversation took place between the two.This picture started a new buzz in the political corridors. While till now the discussion of competition between the two was in full swing, this picture gave a different message. Seeing this, the opposition has also been forced to keep silence. The question arises whether this moment is pointing towards reconciliation between the two leaders or was it just a formality?PM Modi's visit: Inauguration of development worksThe main objective of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Jaipur was to inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of development projects in Rajasthan.
