Following BJP’s triumph in Rajasthan, speculation has surged regarding the potential Chief Minister for the party in the state.
The prominent name under consideration is BJP leader Yogi Balaknath. Other contenders in the discussion include the seasoned Rajasthan BJP leader and former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje Scindia, Jaipur’s former royal family member Diya Kumari, party MP CP Joshi, and Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat.
When queried about the prospect of becoming the Chief Minister on Monday, Balaknath evaded a direct response. While addressing reporters at the Parliament complex, he attributed the success to Modi ji’s guidance, stating, “All this has happened because of the guidance of Modi ji. The public has voted in his name.”
Manhat Balaknath won election on BJP ticket from Tijara seat.
When pressed about the new CM for Rajasthan, rather than providing a straightforward answer, he remarked, “It is with your blessings.”
Earlier, during the winter session of Parliament, when Congress’s Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary met Mahant Balaknath in the premises, he jokingly said, “Are you going to be the new CM of Rajasthan?” Balaknath just smiled and moved on.
