No rift in Rajasthan BJP: Dhami on Raje's absence from party event

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Wednesday dismissed speculation about factionalism within the BJP's Rajasthan unit after veteran leader Vasundhara Raje was left off the party's Parivartan Sankalp Yatra on her home turf. The absence of Raje, a former Rajasthan chief minister and Union minister, from the event in Jhalawar -- which she has represented for 33 years in various capacities -- triggered speculation of a rift within the party. However, Dhami -- who arrived in Kota for the event in Jhalawar -- brushed aside the speculations. He also expressed confidence that the BJP will return to power in Rajasthan, where assembly elections are due later this year. Asked about the Congress' claims of factionalism in the party due to Raje's absence from the programme, Dhami told reporters, "The BJP is the largest party not only in the country but the world. Everyone in the party is working unitedly and the BJP will return to power here (Rajasthan)." Former BJP MLA Heeralal
