There has been much speculation that Raje, whom the Congress unseated in the 2018 Assembly polls in the state, is not keen that rebel Congress leader Sachin Pilot topples the Gehlot government, with the generous help of the BJP.

Dragging in Raje 

It was largely a whisper in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress corridors until now. On Thursday, the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party’s Hanuman Beniwal alleged that former chief minister Vasundhara Raje was trying to help the Ashok Gehlot-led “minority government” in Rajasthan survive. There has been much speculation that Raje, whom the Congress unseated in the 2018 Assembly polls in the state, is not keen that rebel Congress leader Sachin Pilot topples the Gehlot government, with the generous help of the BJP. Beniwal, a Lok Sabha MP, alleged that Raje had also phoned several Congress legislators.
