Rajasthan / Who after Kataria? Vasundhara or Rajendra Rathore BJP President said a big thing

Rajasthan: After the appointment of Leader of Opposition in Rajasthan Legislative Assembly Gulab Chand Kataria as the Governor of Assam, the BJP will soon announce a new face. Rajendra Rathore, Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly, is likely to be made the Leader of the Opposition. A seven-time MLA, Rathore has been holding the post of Deputy Leader of the Opposition since 2018 and has been active in the Assembly. Rajendra Rathore has been a continuous MLA since 1990 and there is no leader ahead of him in the order of precedence. Rajendra Rathore has also proved to be a trouble-shooter many times in the previous BJP governments, especially in the government of Vasundhara Raje. In such a situation, it is expected that his name as the Leader of the Opposition is almost fixed.

Speaking to the media on Monday, Deputy Leader of the Opposition Rajendra Rathod said, "I am a party worker and the party will decide on the appointment." On the other hand, Rajasthan BJP president Satish Poonia said on the appointment of the leader of the opposition that the decision will be taken by the central leadership. According to sources, for now, Kataria will give his speech on the Chief Minister's budget on February 16, which has made it clear that the new appointment will take place on February 16. Will happen only after.

In Rajasthan, it was already believed that after making Kataria the Governor, the responsibility of the Leader of the Opposition could be handed over to someone else. The name of the new leader of the opposition in place of Gulabchand Kataria is most discussed in the assembly, that of deputy leader Rajendra Rathore. According to party sources, the first reason for this is that when Kataria was made the leader of the opposition in 2018, Rajendra Rathore was the contender at that time, but then Rathore was told that after two years he would be given this command in place of Kataria.

Rajputs are the strongest vote bank of BJP

Rajendra Rathore was waiting. Now the supporters of Rathore are hopeful that the party can now give him this responsibility. Another reason behind the possibility of making Rathore the leader of the opposition is the caste equation of the Rajasthan BJP. The strongest vote bank of BJP is considered to be the Rajput community. In the last assembly elections, Rajput had become angry with the BJP, which had suffered a loss in the elections.

Vasundhara Raje is another strong contender

Former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje is being considered as the second contender. The reason for this is that if Vasundhara Raje is handed over the command of the leader of the BJP opposition, then not only will the Raje camp be active in Rajasthan, but the BJP can directly benefit from it in the assembly elections, but regarding the appointment of Raje as the leader of the opposition At present there is little possibility from the party high command. The reason for this is that once Raje is made the leader of the opposition, the party high command's efforts to establish a new leadership will suffer a setback.

A party source said, "Since Gulab Chand Kataria will take oath as the governor of Assam on February 22, he will answer as LOP on the budget." A senior party leader said that the next LoP will be announced on February 16. For this, the state unit of the BJP will send the names of the potential candidate/candidates to the parliamentary board of the party, after which the central leadership will take a final decision.

In the context of the appointment, a senior Rajasthan BJP leader said that Rathore's performance in the assembly has always been exemplary. His oratory skills and preparedness on budget and bills have always worked as face-saving measures for the party.

Before the elections, BJP is trying to surround the ruling Congress of the state in the political field of the assembly and the state on all the fresh and recent issues. Rajendra Rathore, a two-time cabinet minister and served as deputy chief whip in 1990-93, is among the most experienced members of the assembly. Let me tell you, Rajendra Rathore, who has been an MLA since 1990, has not been accused of factionalism within the party. Recently, his performance in BJP's Jan Aakrosh Yatra was acknowledged by the central leaders of the party. In such a situation, it is almost certain that the name of Rajendra Rathore will be stamped.

Rathore surrounded the government on Adani issue

Rajendra Rathore said in the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly, I want to say one thing to this Hindenburg man, brother and everything is fine, elephant's teeth are something to show and something to eat. Whatever you do, stop looting this land. This former Revenue Minister (Harish Chowdhary) is also sitting in the House, if he stands up, it will be difficult. You (Congress government) gave land to this Adani ji 900 bigha in Fatehpur in 2019-20, 25 thousand bigha in 2020-21, 400 bigha in Simbhada Jaisalmer in 2022, 38 thousand bigha in 2022 in Karaliya Jaisalmer, Mohangarh in 2022 , Then 13 thousand bigha land in Fatehgarh and 75 thousand bigha land is still lying in cabinet for approval. 74 thousand bigha is lying with the minister.

Rajendra Rathore said in the House, I will definitely talk about ERCP. On Sunday, the Prime Minister informed about the proposal to integrate Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal (PKC) with ERCP in the Inter River Link Scheme. Which has been passed in the 20th meeting of SCILR, a special committee for inter-linking of rivers. He said, now the ball is in the court of the Rajasthan government. The Center will provide 90 percent of the funds in the Interlink scheme and only 10 percent of the Rajasthan government will be spent. Rathore said, there are 16 such national water projects in the country, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot should tell me a plan till date, which is built on 50 percent water dependability, when you yourself were in government, the decision of the Planning Commission on November 11, 1975, The decision of the Planning Commission on 31 July 2002, the decision of the Water Resources Minister's Office on 21 September 2004, all said that this plan should not be made on less than 75 percent water dependability. Minister, I have read this scheme. Addressing the Chairman, Rathore further said, this scheme will be life-giving in 13 districts, two districts are definitely, 72 thousand 500 in Dhaulpur and one lakh 39 thousand hectare area in Sawai Madhopur.

While they (the government) gave a speech in Alwar, I allege that if the ERCP scheme is implemented as it is today, 9402 hectares of water will be opened for irrigation in Alwar, 1165 in Bharatpur, 534 hectares in Dausa. Even less water will be available from your village and locality. Water will be available in 4401 hectare in Karauli, 200 in Bundi, 7738 in Jaipur, 37 thousand hectare in Tonk. Rathore said – it means whom you are misleading in the name of ERCP. Are you showing Vegetable Garden?

The priest's burning sensation will burn, this government will be burnt to ashes...

Rajendra Rathore told the Chairman, you want me to sit, but today a unique dharna is happening outside the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly. Priests, Pandits, religious leaders of the temples of Rajasthan are coming for the Protection Bill. The way the priests were burnt alive in Rajasthan, the priest of Rajasthan is hurt by that. The priest who has made direct contact with God. It will burn, it will burn, it will burn this government.

Chairman Rajendra Pareek, sitting on the seat in the Vidhansabha, called the name of the next MLA Babulal Nagar while interrupting Rajendra Rathore's time, then Rathore said - Mr. Chairman, I cannot see you angry. The time you gave and protected me from them, they are sitting behind…they stare at me right…then I start trembling. If you were not there, I would not be able to speak today, I want to thank you.

Said in the Governor's address- Will complete the project in 2051, there can be no bigger joke than this...

Rathore said, the projection of drinking water taken in this scheme, which was announced by the Prime Minister, is included in that announcement, but stop doing politics in the name of ERCP. You just said in the Governor's address that we will complete this project in 2051, nothing can be a bigger joke than this.

Allegations of scam of Rs 1600 crore in the budget

Attacking the government, Rajendra Rathore said that the government is talking about giving electricity to the farmers, but is it possible? Because there is no electricity in the wire. Rajendra Rathore alleges that the government is making false promises. This will not benefit the farmers. He alleges that the government has done a scam of 1600 crores in the budget.

PM Modi named millet as 'Shrianna'

In Dausa, PM Modi said on Sunday that he always liked the hospitality of Dausa. He had praised Dausa's bajra roti. Since then BJP leaders of Rajasthan have made it an issue. On Sunday, the PM had said that people used to underestimate the millet grown in Dausa. Now our government has given the name of 'Shrianna' to these coarse grains. This name will bring respect to Bajra and Rajasthan in the whole world.

His eyes on Kataria's vacancy, he is speaking against Adani ji, how will you fill the vacancy...

On Rathore's sarcasm, Dr. Raghu Sharma, the Congress MLA from Kakri and who was in-charge of Gujarat's election, stood on the seat and said, Mr. Chairman, a question is coming to my mind that Katariya Saheb is going as His Excellency, now he They have an eye on the vacancy. But he is speaking against Adani ji in his speech. They are speaking against Bhagwat ji, how will you fill that vacancy.
